This is a great fall recipe. Baked Apples: 4 apples 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup (25g) chopped pecans 1/4 cup (50g) raisins 1 tbsp butter 3/4 cup (175mL) water Cut out the core of the apples without cutting all the way through the apple. Leave about 1 cm at the bottom of the apple intact.  In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans and raisins.  Place the apples in a small baking dish and spoon in sugar mixture into the hole in the apples.  When the apples are full, add a dab of butter to the top.  Pour water into the dish.  Bake at 375°F or 190°C for about 30-35 minutes. These baked apples are really delicious. Like a warm combination of applesauce, raisins and pecans.

 This is a great, easy recipe for any time of year. Banana Pudding: 2/3 cup (125g) sugar 1/3 cup (50g) flour pinch salt 3 eggs 2 cups (450mL) milk 2 tbsp butter 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or 1/2 tbsp vanilla sugar 2 bananas 6 oz. (170g) vanilla wafer cookies Combine sugar, flour, salt in a medium saucepan.    Add eggs and stir well with a whisk.  Stir in milk.  Heat of low heat, stirring constantly. Allow mixture to thicken enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.  Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.  Layer in a dish layers of vanilla wafers, pudding and banana slices.  The banana slices on top will brown, so if you don't want that, press them down until the pudding covers them. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

Christmas Sprinkles Cake

Image
 This is a simple buttercream Christmas cake with sprinkles. I put some buttercream in a piping bag with a star tip. I frosted a 6-inch cake dummy with vegan American buttercream. I piped some simple drop flowers as borders on the bottom of the cake and at the top edge of the cake. Then I piped a tall swirl in the middle of the cake. I had these fantastic Christmas sprinkles. We have red, green and white trees, red and white candy canes, gold and white snowmen and blue and white snowflakes. I alternated colors of tree sprinkles around the tall swirl. I also alternated colors of snowmen sprinkles around the bottom of the cake, white and blue snowflake sprinkles around the edge of the cake, and red and white candy canes around the side of the cake and the top of the cake. I really like this cute little cake. It's really simple and festive. Merry Christmas!
