Apple Dessert

It looks like, I am back to using apples, in my baking.  I can't resist them.  This time, I needed one cup's worth but I cut up more than that.  What could I do with them?  Of course, eat them.


Apple Bars

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Hazelnut oil or Canola oil
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup apples - peeled, cored and finely diced
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F . Grease and flour 8x8 inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, mix melted butter with sugar and egg. Mix in flour, baking soda, and cinnamon, and then stir in apple and walnuts. 
Spread batter into prepared pan.

Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a small knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
The knife came out, perfectly clean, but the middle of the cake did not look done.  I put it back for four minutes, just to make sure and it turned out OK.  I don't think that you have to use the extra time though.  It looked the same way with the additional minutes.


Cut into squares or bars.

This is more like a dessert than bars.  We were scooping it up and loving it.

    I wonder if this recipe would work with the buckwheat flour I just purchased. This looks delicious!

    How creative - I love the idea of apples and bars in the same dessert. And hazelnut oil - never heard of this before...

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
