Deep Dish Apple Crisp

The Deep Dish Apple Crisp is really tasty! Over a light pie crust, a thick layer of apples, cinnamon, and sweet oats is cooked. In our home, this pie is a falltime favorite!

Oh, what a joyous day! I’m excited to spend the weekend with my family and it’s almost Friday! 🙂 But before I do that, I must share this AMAZING recipe that I came up with since I was itching for our beloved apple crisp pizza.

Halfway through creating this delight, I realized my pizza pan was missing (I still don’t know what happened to it, ugh). So, I grabbed a 9-inch deep dish pie plate, and this deep-dish version was formed.

Components

1. For a single crust pie, use one nine-inch pastry.
2. 1/3 cup of sugar, granulated
3. Three teaspoons of all-purpose flour
4. one tsp finely ground cinnamon
5. Peel and cut four medium red delicious apples (you can basically use any kind of apple you choose). We adore how deliciously tart the red apples taste.

Topping

1. Half a cup of all-purpose flour
2. 1/3 cup of well-packed light brown sugar
3. One-third cup of traditional rolled oats
4. one tsp finely ground cinnamon
5. 1/4 cup softened salted butter
6. One-fourth cup caramel sauce

Guidelines

• Fit the dough into a 9-inch deep dish pie plate by rolling it out; flute or fold the edges under. In a medium bowl, mix sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Diced apples with peels added; toss. Spread the apples evenly across the pie shell as you arrange them.
• In a dish, combine the first five topping ingredients; sprinkle equally over the apples.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until apples are soft, at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. (To keep the crust from burning, I place a piece of foil over the top during the final ten minutes.) Take out of the oven and cover right away with caramel sauce. Before slicing and serving, let it stand for 15 minutes.
• Accompany with additional caramel sauce and vanilla gelato.

• Coat the mushrooms thoroughly by pouring the butter mixture over them.
• Stir them halfway through the 15 minutes of baking. You can cook the mushrooms for longer if you prefer them to be overdone.
• Take out of the oven and sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top.

Notes

1. Put an oven on to preheat.
2. For easier cleanup, line a skillet with foil or use a nonstick sheet pan.
3. Slice or chop the mushrooms if you’d like; just watch them closely and shorten the cooking time a little.

5. Toss in some Italian spice for a unique spin.

Amish Baked Custard

Of all the traditional desserts, custards are among the tastiest. Thanks to a lot of eggs in the mixture, they are simple to eat and have a richness that no pudding can match. It should come as no surprise that this kind of delicacy is also known as an Amish custard. It is frequently referred to as an egg custard. You will already be aware of the Amish’s reputation for delicious pastries and made-from-scratch snacks if you have ever purchased some during your travels. However, this dish used to be quite well-liked across the nation, especially in farming areas where fresh eggs were widely available.

This is a simple recipe that yields perfect custard every time.

You’ll need to mix some hot water with a can of sweetened condensed milk to start this preparation. Next, add a small amount of the heated milk mixture to the beaten eggs to temper them. After a few repetitions, you can fully combine both bowls.

Vanilla extract should be added just after the eggs have softened. Then, when it’s time for dessert, portion the mixture into individual portions and bake them in ramekins or a 2-quart casserole.

Ingredients

1. One can (14 oz) of condensed milk with sugar
2. Four cups of steaming water
3. Six eggs
4. two tsp of essence from vanilla
5. 1/4 tsp salt with nutmeg as a garnish

Procedure

• Turn the oven on to 325°F. In a big glass, mix condensed milk and hot water.
• In a another bowl, beat eggs until they are frothy and light in color
• Gently temper the eggs by adding a little amount of the heated milk mixture, then fully combine.
• Add salt and vanilla and stir. Transfer into ramekins and set over a high-sided baking pan.
• Alternatively, use a 2-quart baking dish.
• Place the ramekins in a water bath to bake after adding half an inch of hot water to a separate pan. When baking custard in a larger pan that won’t fit in another pan, you can place a pan of water on a different oven shelf. When a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, bake for one hour. Bake in a bigger baking dish for one hour and forty minutes.
• Let the custard cool.
• For sixty minutes. Add a dash of nutmeg, then serve warm or cold from the refrigerator.

spicy potato taco with greenn chillies

Because I enjoy eating tacos in groups of three, I would like to refer to this recipe as Tacos Los Tres Amigos. I occasionally consume more calories than I am supposed to and then eat somewhat less at my following meal. And it’s perfectly alright! It’s based on a delectable Rick Bayless dish. Although I’m not really sure now, I believe he introduced me to the fascinating and delicious herb epazote. You can add extra cheese to compensate for the absence of epazote in this recipe. If you live anywhere with Mexican grocery stores, you should definitely check them out as they are likely to carry it! It’s funny since I had to hike a few miles before I could cultivate it in my garden.

to the shop to purchase it. However, when I visited Baja California last year, it was growing wildly everywhere. Either way, I’m always interested in learning new things, so if this interests you too, don’t pass this one up!

Ingredients

1. One and a half pounds of small boiled potatoes,
2. three tablespoons of olive oil,
3. plus enough to fry tortillas
4. One little white onion, cut thinly
5. Six medium-sized fresh poblano peppers, peeled and roasted
6. Salt
7. Eight ounces of finely chopped fresh cheese, like feta or goat cheese, or chunky Mexican queso fresco
8. 16 chopped epazote leaves (optional)
9. 8–12 corn tortillas cooked with a small amount of olive oil

Guidelines

• Cover and simmer the potatoes in salted water for about 15 minutes, or until they are soft. After draining, rinse under running water, peel, and cut into quarter-inch pieces.
• In a heavy, medium-sized skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the potato and onion, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently to make sure nothing clings to the pan, or until the mixture is deeply browned.
• While the potatoes are frying, coarsely cut and seed the chilies. Add epazote to them and incorporate them into the potato mixture. Season with salt to taste. After taking the mixture off the stove, whisk in the cheese.
• Over medium heat, fry corn tortillas in olive oil. After adding the potato filling and folding it in half, serve it with your preferred hot sauce.
