Well, now that we cannot demo the Deep Covered Baker I am in a quandry as to what to fix for my shows this weekend. I was planning to make the Caramel Apple Bread Pudding. My Saturday host really would like to do something with apples for the fall, but I don't know what to make. I thought about possibly doing the Mom's Apple Crisp recipe. What are some other really good recipes that use apples?

thanks!
Linda
 
I really like the Mom's Apple Crisp purely because it shows how the stoneware can be used in the microwave. I sold a lot of stoneware that way, just showing how versatile it is.
 
I know that Gillian (gilliandanielle) has been making Mom's Apple Crisp from All the Best Cookbook (p 99) latley at her shows and she loves it! She's raved to me on the phone about it several times but I have yet to personally make it.
 
I've made the bread pudding in the square baker. I just made it with about 3/4 of the ingredients so it wasn't too much. I just covered with whatever top I had.

What kind of top did you use?

I make this ALL the time ~ you can make in a braid, or a ring (to show a woven too). LOVE it. I make it for my family as a braid at least once or twice a month. For breakfast, I reheat it in my toasteroven and small stone.

I've made the Mom's Apple Crisp a lot at my fall shows. It always goes over VERY well & I always sell a few deep dish bakers! I love to show how easy it is--even for the non-cook.
 
Where can I find the Mom's Apple Crisp recipe?:confused:
 
Here http://joycesfinecooking.com/PC%20Recipes/moms_apple_crisp.htm it is. Joyce is a great source for recipes.

When you need to look up a recipe, go to Consultants Corner> Recipes>Recipe search.

This recipe is also on page 99 of All The Best cookbook ;)
 
I always get good feedback when I demo the Taffy Apple Pizza. yum!

Or there's the unique... The Turkey Panini with Cranberry Marmalade recipe (Cooking for 2) has apples in it. I'm making that at a show tomorrow. It's a little involved, but if you have a lot of the prep done ahead it would be a great show recipe (lots and lots of tools, including the grill pan and gril press).

Of course, you can always go to the recipe search on Consultant's Corner and just put "apple" as an ingredient and see what comes up.

Anne,

I have attempted to make MAC twice - I follow the directions to the "T". However, after a very short period of time, the crust becomes rock hard??

Any suggestions?? I have cooked it less time, decreased the BS to 1/2 cup, etc. Just curious - becuase everyone raves about it.

Maybe I will try the easy apple tart...
 
The Taffy Apple Pizza is also very good, but I can't remember which cookbook it's in and I'm at work right now.

You know - I had this happen one time - and I'm not sure why it did. It was at home in my microwave which I use all the time for MAC......the only thing I could think of, and I'm not sure about this - is that I may have used Margarine instead of butter? I almost exclusively use real butter for cooking - but I did experiment for awhile with Smart Balance......
 
Have you tried lowering the power on your microwave?

I have a high wattage microwave and the first time I made this mine was hard as a rock! I usually lower it to 80% power and it comes out just fine!.

Anne, I can't wait to try the apple tart recipe. It sounds delish!

Susan, I'm also trying the Creamy Apple Ring. I think that sounds very good (and fattening) too!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm making the Mom's Apple Crisp for my shows this weekend.
 
The Apple Tart is soo easy. I was schocked! I made it for a cluster meeting. Actually, I made it twice this week. LOL
 
After reading this thread last night, I got inspired to make the apple crisp for 2. I did the recipe in All the Best, page 99 - cut it in half, only had McIntosh apples, cooked in microwave for 7 minutes in the DD pie plate - it was WONDERFUL!!!!!

What a great idea!
 
Weekly BitesI thought I saw i Weekly Bites that you could use the Deep Dish Baker for the Caramel Apple Bead Pudding!? Is that right? That's what I plan on doing for my show tomorrow.

This is what I found:

In place of the Cranberry Deep Covered Baker, we recommend the following alternative vessels to prepare the Caramel Apple Bread Pudding recipe:

For a microwave oven alternative, the recipe can be prepared in the New Traditions Deep Dish Baker (do not use the Classics Deep Dish Baker). Prepare recipe as directed. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 15-18 minutes or until Pocket Thermometer registers 155°F in center; let stand 10 minutes before serving. The pudding will rise above the rim of the baker during cooking, but will fall as it cools.

For a conventional oven alternative, the recipe can be prepared in the Rectangular Baker. Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare recipe as directed. Bake, uncovered, 40-45 minutes or until center appears set; let stand 10 minutes before serving.

I made this at my Friday night show & they couldnt wait for it to cool off...:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :cool:
 
I took Becky's advice a few weeks back and made the Granny Apple Cake for a church function. The ladies really raved about this one, plus you get to demo the cookware.
 
Here's one I made up and took to cluster the other day:

2 Granny Smith apples
1 jar lemon curd
1 8 oz tub whipped cream cheese
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp Pantry cinnamon
1 sheet puff pastry

Lay out the puff pastry on a Rectangle Stone and divide into thirds with Pizza Cutter like you do for the onion/goat cheese tart. (I was inspired by this recipe) Move strips apart on the Stone slightly. Mix cream cheese, honey and cinnamon in a Small Batter Bowl with a small Mix n Scraper and spread over puff pastry strips with Small Spreader, leaving a ¼ inch edge, you will probably have some mixture left. (It’s great on tomorrow morning’s bagel.) Use APCS to slice apples, cut in half. Lay half slices slightly overlapping over cream cheese. Warm the lemon curd in a Prep Bowl and brush over the apples with Silicone Basting Brush. Bake 20-22 min until pastry is golden brown and the apples are soft. Slice each strip onto fours and then in half to make a triangle.
 
This sounds AWESOME!! I will have to try this. :)
