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.

1 onion 1-2 Tbsp butter 2 ½ cups carrots, chopped into 1” pieces 4 eggs ½ cup half and half ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper 1/8 tsp crushed mint leaves

Thinly slice the onion. Place in a pan over med-low heat with butter and cover, stirring occasionally. When the onions are soft, remove cover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion pieces are browned.

At the same time, boil the carrot pieces in salted water, until the fat pieces of carrot are easy to stab with a fork.

Drain the carrots and puree with the half and half, making it as smooth as you can get it.

Preheat oven to 325° F.

Butter a pie tin and spread the onion evenly over the bottom.

Beat together the eggs, carrot puree, salt, pepper, and mint. Pour evenly over the onions.

Place the pie tin in a larger pan with water in it. Bake until it is a set custard, and a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes.

½ cup butter 3 Tbsp sugar 1 ¼ cup fresh or frozen cranberries 1 cup flour ½ cup applesauce ¼ cup honey ½ cup corn meal 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 2 eggs 1 Tbsp minced candied ginger, or ½ tsp ground ginger

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Melt ¼ cup butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the sugar, stirring to dissolve. Add cranberries. Let cook, stirring, until the cranberries are all cracked up. Pour this mixture into a greased bread loaf pan (5”x9”), distributing evenly over the bottom.

Stir together flour, corn meal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ginger.

Beat together the remaining butter, applesauce, and honey, until the butter is in small chunks. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Slowly beat in the flour mixture, until combined. Spoon into the pan over the cranberries, spreading evenly and smoothing the top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before inverting to remove from pan.

¾ cup flour ¾ cup rolled oats 1/3 cup cold butter ¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Stir together the flour and oats. Cut in the butter until crumbly and there's no dry powder. Stir in the sour cream/yogurt.

Sprinkle flour in the pie tin, then dump the dough in and press it evenly onto the bottom and sides. It can be baked now, or chilled for a sturdier crust.

For a half-baked crust, when the filling is to be baked for 30 minutes or less, bake the crust alone for 10 minutes. For a fully baked crust, bake alone for 15-20 minutes. If the crust does not need to be pre-baked, use the baking time for the pie filling recipe.

Crust:

½ cup flour ½ cup rolled oats ½ tsp salt ¼ cup cold butter, cubed 2 Tbsp cold water

Stir together the flour, oats, and salt. Cut in the butter until it's clumpy. Stir in the water. Put dough on a piece of plastic wrap and use the wrap to press it into a ball, then chill.
