Mini Apple Pies

September 23, 2013 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 41 Comments

If you are tracking such things as fall food, than I’m on point with these mini apple pies since fall officially started this past Sunday. But if you are like me, then things like that tend to get lost in the shuffle. But yesterday, coincidence was on my side.

What’s still not on my side: time. Again, another short post, as I’m back to volleying timelines with deliverables.

Peeling Apples I

A few notes

  • This is a Bon Appetit recipe that I flipped into 4 inch tart pans.
  • The recipe calls for Golden Delicious apples, but I used Gala apples because that’s what I had on hand. I wouldn’t suggest this as they weren’t as flavorful. If Honeycrisp were around I would have used that instead, since that’s my baking apple preference.
  • The grated lemon peel from the recipe was omitted.
  • Apple jam was added to the filling since that’s the way my family prefers it. If you decide to use the jam, fold it into the filling after the apples have been tossed with the previous ingredients. I also used a little of jam to brush on top of the lattice to prevent it from chipping or cracking or chipping while they were being transported (a baking tip I read in a newspaper a while back).

Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, and saves you time and money? What about a chance to win a $500 Walmart giftcard? I've got you covered then. 

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there. For what you see here, I threw in two handfuls of kale, 2 cups sausage, some mushrooms and cheese. All things that came together for one cohesive dish. To boost the flavor, I used Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt because its coarse flakes makes it easy to pinch and allows me full control when seasoning a dish.
 
Yay, to doing more with Morton.
