Luscious Applesauce {no peel}

January 7, 2023 by Erica Leave a Comment

Luscious Applesauce

Applesauce is easy to make, and in its most basic form is just apples and water. But indulge a bit with this recipe. It yields a silky smooth, dessert-ready applesauce, with hints of vanilla and spice. You can probably take the spices to another level, adding on to what I’ve formulated. There’s ample room for …

Apple Pie Parfait

November 6, 2022 by Erica Leave a Comment

Apple Pie Parfait

I started out developing a recipe for apple pie bars, which was becoming complicated, and the last thing I want to do is offer a complicated recipe during an already busy holiday time. I shifted gears when I realized that a much better idea is to turn all the parts of the recipe into a …

Apple Crisp {grain free}

Apple Crisp

I can eat cooked apples entirely on their own. No need for a pie, or an intricate recipe involving ice cream, dough, etc. And cooked apples can be used as topping for ice cream, pancakes, waffles, and yogurt too! Infinite possibilities. Which is why I love this recipe. I cook the apples and then quickly …

Baked Apples

January 2, 2018 by Erica 5 Comments

Baking an apple is an exercise in patience (for me), given the long baking time. But it’s so worth the wait. My grandmother served baked apples for dessert. Nothing fancy. From my memory it was baked until it was completely soft. Since I don’t know how she prepared it, I’ve experimented over the past few years, …

Caramel Apples

October 31, 2010 by Erica 8 Comments

Caramel apples

Caramel apples remind me of the fall apple season and Halloween, but you can make this treat any time of year. Use my caramel sauce recipe as a starting point and then cook the sauce a bit longer so it firms up more like candy or a caramel fudge, which you then use to coats …

Apple Salsa & Chips

September 8, 2010 by Erica 10 Comments

You probably have some recipes that you just know, but they’re not written down anywhere. Apple salsa is one of mine. I’ve been making this salsa for several years now, and I always wing it. I just keep adding stuff until it’s just about the way we like it. The other night I had to …
