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!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
