Apple Pie Bites

Image
FALL has arrived -- this recipe is from The Chew by Clinton Kelly --we tried it this weekend and they were delicious-- Kevin thought a cross between snickerdoodles and apple pie --yummo --served them with a little whipped cream --would have been over the top with vanilla ice cream ! I cut the front one open so you could get a glimpse inside. What was so great is you can have all the ingredients available in your pantry and comes together really fast. 1  store-bought pie crust 1  Granny Smith apple (peeled and diced) 2 tablespoons   butter (melted) (LAZY calorie saver I used butter spray!) 1/4 cup   sugar 1 teaspoon   cinnamon  Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Divide and serve on toasted bread with lettuce and tomato.

Fig-and-Prosciutto Flatbreads

Image
Recipe by Todd English and it is my favorite thing to order when in NYC at his Food Hall restaurant. Realized after we ate it that I forgot to top it with the scallions! The real key to this is preheating the oven for 45 minutes with the stone in it --gives the crust such a crunchy bottom --also because I had fresh figs on hand I sliced and topped it with 4 of them. Two 12-ounce balls of pizza dough, at room temperature All-purpose flour 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 garlic clove, minced 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary Salt and freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup fig jam (from a 6-ounce jar) 1/4 pound Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (1 cup) 3 ounces sliced prosciutto 1 scallion, white and green parts thinly sliced  Place a pizza stone in the bottom of the oven and preheat the oven to 500°. Allow at least 45 minutes for the pizza stone to heat thoroughly.  Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of the pizza dough to a 13-inch round. Dust a piz...
