Our neighbor George brought us another bushel of apples–Granny Smiths, appropriately. Ava and I tried several new recipes last week.
First up, apple cinnamon rolls, which went over very well at work. The filling for these rolls was incredible.
The same night, we made a spiced raisin apple crisp to share with Dawn and Brandon:
On Sunday, we made a tarte tatin with yogurt cream sauce to take to George. (I hope it tasted better than it looked!)
My favorite apple recipe so far is the spice cake with cider sauce, which I took to work on Monday. I didn’t have the correct pan, so I used a Bundt pan. We “painted” it with baker’s grease, a concoction of oil, Crisco and flour, and the cake slid out so easily I nearly dropped it on the floor. Quite a change from last time!
If you make this very easy recipe (which I would highly recommend), don’t skip the cider sauce!

It all looks divine!! And we just received a few more apples ourselves, so I’ll have to give one or two of these recipes a try. Thanks!

Everything looks delicious! I wish I was there to taste it.
I am craving French Toast daily now. I had a marvelous version of it at Micky’s Dairy Barn last week. They made regular egg batter (well, it was probably extra fatty), and then they dipped sliced cinnamon rolls in it. Unbelievably yummy. I’d like to try your buns cooked up that way!
