FROM OUR RECIPE BOX - Apple Almond Cream Cheese Hand Pies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Warm apple pie says autumn like nothing else. But if the crust is soggy or the
filling runny, there's only disappointment. Hand pies or turnovers rarely get
soggy if you bake them long enough so that the dough develops a nice brown color.
The layer of Love'n Bake Almond Schmear adds an aromatic note but also acts as
a moisture barrier, which helps keep the pies crisp and flaky. A knob of cream
cheese is a tasty surprise. It balances the sweetness of the apples and filing
while adding a rich note. This all purpose dough has great keeping properties. If you use it to make these pies, they will keep for a few days when stored loosely covered at room temperature. That is, if you don't eat them all hot from the oven. For the Apple, Almond Cream Cheese Hand Pie Recipe, click here. | |

FROM OUR RECIPE BOX - Cinnamon Apple Charlotte ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The classic apple charlotte, layers of buttered bread and cooked apples, gets
a makeover with our Cinnamon Schmear Filling. Whether you use Braeburn, Macintosh
or other baking apple, cook the filling long enough so that it becomes quite dry.
This ensures that the charlotte will hold its shape after cooking. (Using a wider,
squat casserole will make a shallow charlotte that will be easier to cut while
still warm.) Enriched bread such as Challah would be a good choice for this dish
although any type of quality sliced bread will do. As this dish celebrates the flavors of apple and cinnamon, it needs little garnish. A simple spoon of whipped cream, sour cream or yogurt should do. | |

RECIPE UPDATE - Whiskey Scented Baked Apple with Orange Almond Filling ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's
a baked apple for grown ups. The secret ingredient is a splash of whiskey in the
cavity of each apple before stuffing. While it bakes, the alcohol burns off leaving
the smoky mellow taste of the spirit in each apple. (A splash of orange or lemon
juice will have a similar effect.) The almond filling adds just enough richness to make this a party dish. (It is the same filling we've used to stuff apricot, nectarine and peach halves before baking.) Serve the apples hot from the oven with a generous scoop of ice cream and a few dribbles of caramel sauce. For the Whiskey-Scented Baked Stuffed Apple recipe, click here: | |
