Honey-Apple Scones with Spelt

As I have mentioned before, scones are beloved in my house and get made often. This current recipe from Baking with Dorie included some of my husband’s favorite flavors honey, apple and orange. It also included spelt flour a kind of wheat flour that we used in another recipe recently. This is not a traditional…

Caramel-Apple Crisp

Fall baking season has begun and I am looking forward to it. I took Dorie’s advice and purchased a variety of apples; Fuji, Gala and Granny Smith. I made the crumble a day in advance which made for easy assembly. The caramel sauce was to-die-for and will definitely be seeing a scoop of vanilla ice…

Apple Pandowdy

For this single-crust dessert, I decided to use a leaf cookie cutter. It is hard to see but I thought it was a cute addition to this fall dessert. I tried to keep some open space so the juices could evaporate since there was no thickener in this recipe. Mine did not brown much because…

Apple Custard Crisp

When I joined the group, only two desserts had been made so it was an easy catch-up for me. This was the remaining dessert I had not made. Now that it is fall and apples are in season I decided to make this warm and cozy dessert. This was not our favorite, we enjoy a…

Martine’s Lemon and Apple Tart

I am posting late this week, Thursdays with Dorie?, because I wanted to make this tart for my anniversary which happens to be today. This monumental year of 2020 is having me celebrate all kinds of milestones at home. I can also see my planned vacation, a cruise, vanish before my eyes. But on to…

Cornmeal and Fruit Loaf

On Tuesdays with Dorie it is Rewind week, a recipe make-up. I am all caught up but still wanted to bake. I dusted off my copy of Baking From My Home to Yours as there are many recipes I still have not made. I had an open carton of buttermilk which is one of the…

Petite Apple Croustades

These petite packages were a fun way to usher in a new season. This is an apple filled dessert with phyllo dough. I used a mix of apples; Gala, Fuji and Golden Delicious. I flavored mine with brandy as that is the alcohol I had on hand. Despite Dorie’s modifications from the original, this is…

Applesauce

I Heart Cooking Clubs Snacks and Beginnings Nothing says Fall like a dish of homemade applesauce. This is not a dish I normally make but it sounded like a fun idea. Ruth states “applesauce practically makes itself” so I figured it would be pretty easy. The recipe calls for 6 apples, I used a variety…

Apple Matafan

I have never made or tasted a matafan. Dorie describes it as a large apple pancake. In the division of labor in my house, pancakes come under my husband’s job description. I gave him the recipe and said “you’re in charge”. Good timing too as I ended up sick this weekend and probably would not…

Apple Weekend Cake

Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi According to Dorie this recipe is from the Normandy region of France. For this cake she suggests using sweet, juicy apples so I went with Jazz apples which are a fusion between a Royal Gala and a Bareburn Apple. My notes for this recipe were moist, delicious, easy and…
