This is a bonus #AppleWeek post because I didn't fit in a pie into this week...but I wanted to be sure and share my thoughts on the beautiful pie pan I received from one of the sponsors!  Thanks, Pyrex.


This is the 9-1/2" pie plate from Pyrex's Watercolor Collection. I have pie pans that are metal and pie pans that are ceramic, but I love using glass pie pans. I have two smaller ones, but this one is deep and perfect for piling in lots of filling. I can't wait to use it more as we get into baking season. 

Anyway, my oven isn't working right now, so I drove over to my parents' house to use theirs. When my mom saw the plate, she said, "I think I'm going to have to take that!" Ummmm...nope. It's mine. All mine.


Whenever I have a tons of apples, I make jars of applesauce to use throughout the winter in my baking adventures. While I love homemade applesauce so I can control the amount of sugar, use whatever you have on-hand.

Applesauce Cake

Ingredients
  • 1 C (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
  • 1 C organic dark brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/2 C organic granulated sugar
  • 1/4 C honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 C chunky applesauce
  • 3 C flour
  • 2 t baking soda
  • 1 T ground cinnamon
  • 1 t ground cardamom
  • 1/2 t ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 t ground all-spice
  • 1/2 t ground ginger


Procedure

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and spices. Butter your pie pan and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and honey until lightened and fluffy. Add in the eggs and beat again. Stir in the applesauce.

Fold the dry ingredients into the applesauce mixture to form a thick batter. Spoon the batter into the buttered pan and smooth the top.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, approximately 50 to 60 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack for, at least, 10 minutes before slicing. 


You can serve this with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of ice cream. We ate it just like this!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
