2 cups apples, grated ½ cup honey 3 eggs ¾ cup almond meal 1 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350° F. Put the grated apple in water with lemon juice until ready to use. Let the eggs come to room temperature. (Putting them in warm water helps.)

Beat the eggs on high speed until pale yellow, a thick foam, small bubbles. Meanwhile gently heat the honey until it is thin and runny. Reduce the eggs to a medium beating speed and slowly pour the honey in as it beats. After the honey is added, beat on high speed for about a minute. Reduce to a low speed and slowly add the almond meal, cinnamon, and salt. Then fold in the grated apple.

Pour batter into a buttered 8” baking pan. Cover with foil.

Bake for 35-40 minutes.

Crust: 1 cup flour 6 Tbsp butter ¼ cup water

Filling: 2 lbs. apples ½ cup dried fruits (this time I used prunes, raisins, dried cherries, dried blueberries, crystallized ginger) ½ cup sugar ¼ tsp ground cinnamon ¼ tsp ground nutmeg ¼ tsp ground mace ¼ tsp salt 1/8 tsp ground cloves pinch of saffron powder (optional)

Cut the butter into the flour until it is crumbly and there are no more large chunks of butter. Stir the water into the flour. Knead it a little bit to make a dough, using flour if necessary to keep from sticking. Roll it thin and place in a 9” pie or tart dish. Chill until ready to use.

Preheat oven to 375° F. Core the apples and chop them into small pieces. Mince the dried fruits. Combine the apples and dried fruits with the spices and sugar, stirring to coat. Place into the tart crust.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes, removing the foil toward the end of baking time.

Filling: 3 apples 2 tsp honey 1 lb. strawberries 1 Tbsp honey 1 Tbsp arrowroot powder pinch of salt

Topping: ¾ cup flour ¼ cup rolled oats 4 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp sugar or brown sugar 1 tsp ground cinnamon ½ tsp poppy seeds

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Coat bottom of an 8” cake pan with butter.

Slice apples into cubes, removing the core. Place in a small pot with 2 tsp honey and cook, covered, over medium heat, for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, hull and halve the strawberries. Place them in a large bowl with the rest of the honey, arrowroot powder, and salt. Stir to coat the berries with powder.

Put the apple mixture in the cake pan, then the strawberry mixture.

In another bowl, stir together the flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and poppy seeds. Cut in the butter until there are no large chunks of butter and no dry flour. Sprinkle this mixture over the fruit in the pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden.

Apples: cut into smallish pieces. Cheese: choose sharp cheese, like goat cheese or sharp cheddar. Cut into small pieces, smaller than the apple pieces, or crumble. You want about half the amount of the apple. Drizzle of honey: I used about 1 Tbls. per apple in the salad. Sprinkling of herbs: choose mild, sweetish herbs, like fennel seed or leaves, poppy seed, lavender buds, or mint.

1 double batch of pie crust 1 Tbsp arrowroot powder 6 cups apples, chopped 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground nutmeg ¼ cup honey 1 egg, beaten ground ginger Ground cloves

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Stir together the apples, arrowroot, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Make sure the crust dough is chilled thoroughly. Divide in half and roll out each half on separate pieces of waxed paper, using flour as needed to keep them from sticking. roll to about 1/8” thick. Place one sheet of dough in a pie tin, fitting it inside and trimming the edges. Fill with the apples. Place the other sheet of dough over the top, trimming the edges and crimping the top and bottom together along the edge. Brush the beaten egg on the top crust and sprinkle with ground ginger and ground cloves. Cut slashes into the top crust.

Bake for 40-50 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

½ cup blackcurrant jam 1-2 Tbsp butter 2 ½ cups apples, chopped into 1” pieces 4 eggs ½ cup half-and-half ½ tsp ground cloves ½ tsp cinnamon 1 Tbsp maple syrup

Preheat oven to 325 ° F.

Butter a pie tin and spread the blackcurrant jam over the bottom.

Boil apple pieces in water until soft. Drain apples, and puree with the half-and-half, making it as smooth as possible. Beat the pureed mixture with the eggs, maple syrup, and spices. Pour into the pie tin over the jam.

Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the custard is set and a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before serving.

Crust: ¾ cup butter 2 cups flour ½ cup water ¼ tsp salt

Cut the butter into the flour until it's crumbly and there's no dry powder.

Dissolve the salt into the water, then stir it into the flour and butter. Stir to make a soft dough. It will be a lot like cookie dough.

Stick it in the fridge to chill until hardened.

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Filling: 5 cups chopped apples 1/3 cup honey 1 Tbsp arrowroot powder, flour, or corn starch ½ tsp allspice ½ cup redcurrant jelly*

Stir together the apples, arrowroot, allspice, and honey.

Roll out half the crust dough on a piece of waxed paper dusted with flour. Use flour as necessary on top and bottom to prevent sticking. Roll to 1/8”.

Dust the pie tin with flour. Use the waxed paper to flip the crust over into the pie tin. Trim the edges and fill in any holes.

Spread the redcurrant jelly in the bottom of the crust, then put in the apple mixture.

Roll out the rest of the crust dough to make the top crust. Do whatever type of design you want.

Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft.

*If you have fresh or dried redcurrants available to you, make a quick sort of jam by cooking them with water and honey, and mashing them up. Alternatively, you could stir the plain redcurrants in with the apples instead of using jam.

apples oil cornstarch salt pepper

Cut the apples into medium-thin slices, removing the core. Soak them in water for 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425° F. Drain the apples and coat them with cornstarch. Arrange in a single layer, not touching, on a baking sheet. Drizzle with at least 2 Tbsp of oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Bake for 15 minutes. Flip the slices and rearrange, then bake for 5 more minutes.

Makes just under 1 quart.

2 lb damson plums, pitted and cut in half 1 cup honey or mixed honey and pure maple syrup ¼ cup finely grated apple, raw and unpeeled

In a large pot, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring frequently. When it becomes soupy, increase heat and bring to a full boil.

Stir slowly as it cooks for 15 to 20 minutes. It will thicken and darken. Try to get it up to 220° F. (Higher elevations will not get the temperature up that high, so do your best.)

Pour into prepared canning jars, giving at least ¼ inch of headspace. Seal and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath, or 20 minutes at high elevation.
