2 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder ½ cup nut flour ½ tsp ground cinnamon ½ tsp ground nutmeg or mace 1-2 oranges or clementines or tangerines 12 Tbsp butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 cup plain yogurt 3 Tbsp melted butter 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 ¼ cup grated apple

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, nut flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg/mace.

Peel the oranges and manually remove the pith and seeds. Blend the orange flesh in a food processor to create a thick pulp, it doesn't have to be totally liquefied. You need to get 2/3 cup of orange pulp.

In a large bowl, cut the butter into the sugar, then beat them until they are creamed together. One ingredient at a time, beat in the eggs, yogurt, and orange pulp.

Spray the bottom and sides of a large cake pan. In the bottom of the pan, spread the melted butter, then evenly sprinkle the brown sugar, then evenly spread the grated apple.

Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Spread the batter evenly over the apples. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the cake tests done.

Let the cake cool until it has shrunk away from the edges of the pan, then turn out up-side down onto a serving tray.

1 unbaked pie crust for 9” deep-dish pie 2 cups grated pears (about 3 pears) 3 eggs ¾ cup sugar 1 cup cream 3 Tbsp corn starch ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp dried rosemary

Preheat oven to 400° F. Prepare the pie crust and place the pie pan on a baking sheet (for ease of handling and safety if it overflows).

Spread the grated pear evenly into the pie crust.

In a bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.

Bake for 10 minutes at 400° F. Reduce the temperature to 350° F and bake for 40 more minutes.

The custard will set up completely as it cools. Let cool completely before serving.

1 tsp dried rose petals, hibiscus petals, or similar sweet flower ½ cup warm water ¼ cup raisins, dried cranberries, or other small dried fruit 1 ½ cups flour ¼ tsp salt ¾ cup butter 3 small apples 2 pears 2 Tbsp honey ½ cup chopped almonds

Grind the flower petals into a powder. In a small bowl, combine the warm water with the flower petals and dried fruit. Set aside while preparing the filling.

Slice the apples and pears into thin slices, removing the core. Cook the fruit with ¼ cup butter and honey over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and butter is melted. Remove from heat. Scoop out the raisins with a slotted spoon and add those to the apple mixture.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Cut in ½ cup of butter. The flower water should be just under ½ cup; stir that into the flour to make a paste. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill.

Preheat oven to 375° F.

When the dough is cold and harder, roll out into a large, thin circle and line a deep-dish pie pan. Set aside any extra dough to make a decorative top. Spread the chopped almonds into a layer on the bottom, then add the rest of the filling.

Bake for 35-40 minutes.

2 cups raw cranberries 1 ¾ cup (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk 3 egg yolks 1 pie crust (graham cracker crust, or pre-baked)

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Boil cranberries in 2-3 cups water, until they are mostly split—it only takes a few minutes. Drain and discard the water. Combine the cranberries, condensed milk, and egg yolks in a blender, and blend until smooth and light. Pour into pie crust. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool at room temperature, then chill for at least 3 hours before serving.

#cranberry #dessert #eggyolk #pie #sweetenedcondensedmilk #vegetarian

Crust: 1 ¾ cup flour 1 tsp ground nutmeg ½ tsp ground cardamom ½ tsp ground ginger ½ tsp ground black pepper ½ cup butter, cut into pieces ¼ cup brown sugar ¼ cup cold water 1 egg

Filling: 4 ½ cups raw cranberries (18 oz) 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 1 cup sugar ¼ cup corn starch 1/8 tsp salt

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Whisk together the flour and spices. Cut in the butter. In a separate bowl, dissolve the brown sugar in the water, then beat in the egg. Stir the water mixture into the flour mixture in 2 parts, forming a smooth paste. Form into a thick disk, wrap in plastic, and chill while you make the filling.

Use a food processor to coarsely mince the cranberries. Stir together all the filling ingredients.

Roll the crust dough into a thin crust and place into a 9” deep-dish pie pan. Fill with the cranberry filling. Use leftover dough to make a decorative top crust. Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes, then remove foil and bake for 10 minutes.

3 peaches ¾ cup milk or cream 2 Tbsp honey 1 cup plain yogurt

This basic recipe can be used as the template for many variations of the classic dessert.

For a medium sized cobbler, about 9”×6”.

Filling: 3 cups fruit, fresh or frozen about ¼ cup sugar (more or less depending on the fruit used)

Topping: 1 cup flour 1 ½ cups rolled oats ¼ cup sugar 1/3 cup butter

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Prepare the fruit as necessary, such as washing, peeling, chopping it into roughly bite-sized pieces, removing seeds. Stir the fruit and sugar together, then spread into the bottom of a baking pan.

Stir the oats, flour, and sugar together. Use your fingers to rub in the butter until there is no dry powder. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit and bake for 30 minutes.

Variations

Use rolled barley, rye, or wheat instead of rolled oats. Use white sugar, brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup. Combine any type of fruit. Add 1-2 tsp of spices to the filling or the topping. Add extras to the filling like chopped nuts, dried fruit, shredded coconut, or chocolate chips. Use coconut oil instead of butter. Use different types of flour in the topping such as almond flour, corn meal or masa harina.

1 ½ cups nut flour blend (needs to be part almond, part coconut, and can have other nuts as well) 1 ½ large eggs or 2 small-medium eggs 3 Tbsp butter or coconut oil

Stir all ingredients together into a soft dough/thick paste. Press into the pie tin.

To bake alone, bake at 350° F for 15 minutes. Otherwise, follow instructions in the pie recipe.

3 cups sugar 1 cup water 1 cup corn syrup 3 Tbsp butter 1-1 ½ lbs raw peanuts, shelled 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp baking soda

Set the oven to 200° F. Thoroughly butter 2 baking sheets and place in the oven to keep warm.

In a large pot (bigger than you think you need), combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup. Prepare a bowl of ice water to test the syrup. Stir over medium-high heat until it reaches soft ball stage, about 15 minutes.

In a small bowl, stir together the vanilla extract and baking soda.

Add the peanuts and butter to the syrup. Stir constantly until it reaches brittle crack stage, about 20 minutes. Signs to look for: syrup spins a thin thread when dripping off the spoon, peanuts get roasted and brown, syrup turns amber colored, syrup audibly cracks when it hits the ice water. Taste test peanut flavor and candy texture after dropping into ice water.

When it reaches brittle crack stage, take out the baking sheets and place them on cooling racks on the counter or table. Quickly stir the vanilla and baking soda into the candy. It will foam up quite a bit. Stir it in thoroughly, but not too much, to preserve the bubbles. Immediately pour the candy onto the cookie sheets. Use a rubber spatula to spread it to your desired thickness.

Let it cool completely. To check the hardness, try lifting it with a spatula. If it bends, it is still too soft.

Once it is totally brittle, break it into pieces with your hands.
