Apple Chips

Apple Chips

Apple CHips Yesterday, I posted about root vegetable chips. Today, the chips are made of fruit. Spring is not the best time of year for apples. While the produce section boasts apples year round, by the time winter is over, the Macs are long gone 

Caramelized Apple Dutch Baby

Caramelized Apple Dutch Baby

Spring arrived this week, slipping in quietly when we were distracted by the wind. Winter dragged its ungracious feet as it shuffled out the door.  As the last of the snow melted, a bland, brown, monochromatic world emerged outside my window. The lawn was brown. The 

Streusel-Topped Hasselback Apples

Streusel-Topped Hasselback Apples

These Streusel-Topped Hasselback Apples are like a Dutch apple pie without the fuss of pastry. A large, firm, sweet apple like Honeycrisp delivers best results but Mustu or Golden Delicious work well too.

This is another photo I didn’t take.  And not because my roasted chicken didn’t turn out beautifully. It did. I just didn’t have the time or patience to do a photo shoot. I give full credit to James Ingram, not only for his camera skills
