Mile-High Apple Pies

Ingredients
1 lemon
½ cup (125 mL) sugar
1 tsp (5 mL) Cinnamon Plus® Spice Blend or pumpkin pie spice
½ pkg (14.1 oz/399 g) refrigerated pie crusts (1 crust), softened according to package directions
3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled
1 cup (250 mL) thawed frozen whipped topping
¼ cup (50 mL) Caramel Sauce or Butterscotch Rum Sauce

Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line Cookie Sheet with Parchment Paper; set aside. Zest lemon using Microplane® Adjustable Fine Grater to measure 1 tsp (5 mL). Combine zest, sugar and spice blend in large Bamboo Fiber Mixing Bowl; mix well. Unroll one pie crust onto lightly floured Pastry Mat; roll to a 12-in. (30-cm) circle using Baker's Roller®. Spacing closely together, cut 12 disks from crust using (3-in./7.5-cm) Biscuit Cutter. Transfer disks to Cookie Sheet; lightly prick with pastry tool and sprinkle evenly with about 2 tsp (10 mL) of the sugar mixture. Bake 6–8 minutes or until disks are golden brown.

Meanwhile, cut apples into wedges using Apple Wedger. Add apples to remaining sugar mixture in mixing bowl; toss well to coat completely. Arrange apples in a single layer in Small Ridged Baker; cover with Parchment Paper. Microwave on HIGH 3–5 minutes or until apples are soft. Carefully drain apple liquid into Mini Easy Read Measuring Cup to measure 3 Tbs (45 mL). Place whipped topping in small Bamboo Fiber Mixing Bowl; fold in apple liquid.

Remove Cookie Sheet from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack. To assemble, transfer one disk to a serving plate. Arrange three apple wedges on disk in a single layer using Sauté Tongs. Top apples with 1 Tbs (15 mL) of the whipped topping mixture. Place second disk over filling; top with two apple wedges and 1 Tbs (15 mL) of the whipped topping mixture. Repeat with remaining disks, apple wedges and whipped topping mixture. Drizzle with sauce.

I would love to see more people post ideas! How long do you cook chicken breasts or meatloaf?

I've been using it for Jalapeno Bacon Poppers. I don't have an actual recipe, but here's what I do: Halve and seed jalapenos, fill with cream cheese, wrap with a half slice of raw bacon and secure with a toothpick. Bake at 375 for about 25-30 mins or until bacon is cooked. So yummy!

2 boneless chicken breasts, covered with parchment paper for 5-6 minutes. Let sit for a couple of minutes.

I made a meatloaf in mine last weekend and it was wonderful!I, of course, make lots of bacon and mile high apple pies!

LOVE it for making squash in the microwave. I fill the ridges with water and put the squash halves on top. The squash doesn't dry out or get water logged.

I LOVE the way the apples come out, and of course how fast my bacon cooks. Since bacon is super greasy, I have a hard time getting all the grease out without soap. I use an old toothbrush, baking soda and vinegar and it gets it so clean, it almost looks brand new. =D

I drain all of the grease and then fill the dish with water and let it soak while we eat. Then I just take the faucet sprayer and clean it. Rarely does it require me to do any scrubbing.

From the Use and Care Guide
•For deep cleaning: Fill baker with water up to the top of the ridges. Microwave on HIGH for 3-4 minutes. Remove baker with oven mitts and carefully pour out water. Use a kitchen brush to remove remaining residues. Rinse with warm water.

Just put this together for the Small Ridged Baker using tips and recipes from this thread. Let me know if it needs any corrections!

I already redid the attachment as I found some more to add to it on another thread, but I don't know how to replace the first one so here it is again with more.

I just did Talapia in the microwave tonight. It was really good. I placed the thawed Talapia in the SRB, sprinkled the Citrus Basil seasoning, covered with parchment, and microwaved for 2.5 minutes. I topped mine with store bought mango salsa, but it was great without it too. Super yummy and very low cal!!
