I am in the mood for some apples

[pumba]

I always like a good hot apple pie with ice cream on top, I also love other apple things.
Kids come home from school and I pop an apple in the microwave with the core out and an inch of peel gone and put a dollop of margarine and sugar and cinnamon and the kids love this, After which I put in some ice cream to melt in the center.
The kids think fall is the best
any other ideas

I think today is supposed to be the "Apple Festival" in my town. I've missed it every year so far for various reasons, and today it's raining so I don't know if they're even having it.

I love the smell of apple pie baking, and have a Yankee Candle Macintosh candle burning right now!

Fresh apples are by far one of my all-time favorite foods. And they are finally in season around here! I got some terrific Macouns the other day at Shaw's. And I cannot wait to get to the orchards in another week or so (when this rain stops!). I make apple crisp.... that is kind of my "signature" dessert. I don't really care for apple pie (although that is a BIG thing in my family) and the crisp is SO MUCH easier than a pie. I have a nice apple peeler/corer/slicer from Pampered CHef. The kids help me run the apples through it, I throw them in the dish with the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, toss then around. Then I throw the topping ingredients in my standing mixer (margarine or butter or butter flavored crisco, oatmeal, touch of salt, brown sugar and white sugar)...... crumble the topping over the apple mixture and throw in the oven at 375 degrees for 40 minutes (or more... we like it slightly softer).... and wa-la.... DELICIOUS!!! OOO... making me hungry right now!! .................P

Apples are the first thing I think of in the fall! I just put up 20 pints of applesauce...which probably won't last long around here.

Two words: apple crisp.

I just went apple picking today and finished a pie from recipes.com. It is unique because you put a top crust on ( bought at the grocery store, of course) and pour a syrup on top- yummy! I also include apple brandy and some spices in the sauce but here is the basic recipe:

Grandma Ople's Apple Pie
Submitted by: Rebecca Clyma
INGREDIENTS:
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup water
8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
Melt butter in a sauce pan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, brown sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature, and simmer 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes.

OOOOHHHHH!! I love apple crisp. My receipe comes from Family Fun magazine a few years ago. It's great b/c you mix all the toppings in a large ziploc bag, no mess, no dirty bowls, easy for kids to do! I'll look it up and try to post it!

Oh, and I made a Nana's Apple Cake from Tastefully Simple last night. Sooooo easy! Just add the mix, 2 eggs, and 2 cups chopped apples and bake! YUMMY!!! I also use the Pampered Chef apple peeler/corer/slicer! I love this tool, makes cutting apples very quick and easy!

Has anyone ever tried an Arkansas Black apple? Very dark skinned and very delicious! They usually come out late in the season, like Nov. They are my fav!

 

[Trish Bessette]

Oh yes, it's apple picking time here in Vermont. There are two orchards right on my road!!

Apple pie, Apple Crisp, Apple Dapple Cake, Carmel Apples and Candy Apples are what I do each year.

We have a GREAT crop this year!! They are delicious!

Remember The Waltons? I have the recipe for Applesauce Cake and Jane's Whiskey Frosting. I got it years ago from the book The Homecoming. It's very good. I like to make it for Thanksgiving or Christmas. My dad especially loved it. Now that he's gone it always makes me think of him.

2 c. applesauce
1 c. light raisins
1 c. chopped walnuts
1 t. baking soda

2 t. cloves
2 t. nutmeg
pinch of salt
Jane's Whiskey Frosting

Sift together: flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Take 1/2 c. flour mixture and stir into nuts and raisins. Set both aside. Cream butter until soft. Add sugar a little at a time until smooth. Beat eggs. Alternately stir in flour and applesauce. When mixed add nuts and raisins. Mix well. Pour into greased cake mold. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Cool 10 minutes and turn onto cake rack. Frost when cool.

Jane's Whiskey Frosting

2 T. whiskey

Cream butter. Add sugar and salt. Add cream and whiskey. Whip until smooth. Frost cake.

I really like Apple Crisp but my kids don't. Thus, it doesn't pay to make it for just one. Does anyone have a "scaled back" recipe that would work for just a few servings. Just hate wasting the leftovers. I enjoy it hot out of the oven with ice cream--yumm! There was a guy I worked with more than 20 years ago that made the best I have ever had. Too bad I didn't have his recipe.

Every year we go apple picking and I make pies, apple sause and of course we drink lots of apple cider. I just love fall.

 

[kittychatalot]

Does anyone freeze apple pies? And would you do it pre baking- or after?

 

[Meriweather]
