Apple Time ! -Swedish Apple Pie (from my German Mom)

-
                 Today was my day to  plan  our date day --we went out to Loudoun County and went to the Bluemont Fair and then Bluemont Winery (fabulous views) then onto Hill High's Country Store where we bought apples and a few other goodies! Then finished our day at Sunset Hills Winery --also very pretty. So these HUMONGOUS apples are from there- so  only needed 2 !! 



                            SWEDISH APPLE PIE


  8              whole  apple slices, peeled -- CORTLAND ( or Granny Smith)
  1         tablespoon  sugar
  1         tablespoon  cinnamon
  1                cup  flour
  1                cup  sugar
  1              pinch  salt
  1                     egg
     3/4           cup  butter -- melted

LIGHTLY GREASE PIE PLATE (ok so you  can see we were halving this recipe so I took out the regular pie stone pan I use and we used the smaller deep dish)
PLACE PEELED SLICED APPLE PIECES IN PAN ok this is proving the more is better theory --the apples were  SO BIG that they failed the  Apple Peeler Corer Slicer SO I peeled then then attempted the Wedger (stuck!!) pushed them out backwards and used the Corer and sliced by hand --those of you who know me....what can I say!! (Failed attempts below...)




AND SPRINKLE LIBERALLY WITH CINNAMON AND 1 T SUGAR



IN SMALL BOWL MIX TOGETHER REST OF INGREDS AND POUR OVER APPLES

 The hint on this is add into the melted butter the sugar then flour then salt mix THEN add in egg so you don't end up with scrambled Eggs!!



BAKE 45 MIN AT 350

HINT: PUT FOIL OR BAKING SHEET UNDER PLATE WHILE BAKING TO CATCH THE JUICES OR DRIPS


Serving Ideas : SERVE WITH WHIP CREAM OR VANILLA ICE CREAM oops we cut into it before we photographed -- slice number 2 on the plate!!

Guest blog recipe by Katie for her friends party on New Years Eve.

In a medium saucepan, bring butter, dry mustard, Worcestershire, brown sugar and poppy seeds to a boil in a saucepan.  Lower heat and let simmer for a few minutes. Set aside.   2. Slice buns in half and assemble sandwiches by adding desired amounts of ham and cheese. Place in a small baking dish (it helps if they fit snugly in there) and pour sauce all over, using a spatula to make sure they are all coated.  Cover with foil and let marinate in fridge for at least one hour, or overnight.  3. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325ºF. 4. Bake sandwiches for 10...

We made this for dinner tonight and Kevin kept raving about the smoky flavor to it and suddenly stated you need to blog this (which I already intended to). After he went back for his final last bite finally packed up the leftovers for his lunch tomorrow. We will be making this again ... and again!     6 slices Bacon 2 cloves Garlic (thinly sliced) 1 can Tomato Paste 1/4 cup Vodka 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Pinch Nutmeg 1 pound Penne 1 piece Parmigiano Reggiano (for grating)   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook penne 1 minute short of the package instructions. Drain, reserving some pasta water for sauce. In a large saute pan, cook bacon over medium heat to render out fat. Cook for about 10 minutes until cooked but not too crispy. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook until garlic is fragrant and tomato paste darkens Stir in the vodka and cook for a few minutes to meld the flavors. Add cream and season with nutmeg and salt to taste. ...
