 This is an easy recipe to use up those apples on the counter that are getting too old to want to eat raw.  Apple Crumble: 6 apples 1 tbsp flour 1/2 cup (100g) sugar 2 tbsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 cup (90g) oats 1 cup (125g) flour 1 cup (200g) brown sugar 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup (125g) melted butter pinch salt Peel, core and slice the apples and place in a baking dish. Stir in 1 tbsp flour, lemon juice, sugar, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. In a separate bowl, stir together oats, baking powder, flour, cinnamon, salt and brown sugar. Stir in melted butter. Spread crumbs on top of the apples. Bake at 350°F or 180°C for 30-40 minutes.  This apple crumble turned out amazing and pair perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

 This is a simple, but amazing baked custard recipe. Flan: 1 cup (200g) white sugar 3 eggs 1 (14oz. or 396g) can sweetened condensed milk 1 (12oz. or 340g) can evaporated milk 1 tbsp vanilla extract or 3 tbsp vanilla sugar In a saucepan, melt the sugar (and vanilla sugar, if using that) until syrup is liquid and golden in color.  Pour hot syrup into 9-inch casserole dish, coating all sides of the dish. Set aside.  Whisk eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla extract (if using) together in a bowl.  Pour milk mixture into coated pan.  Place that pan in another deep pan adding hot water into the larger container, making a water bath.  Bake at 350°F or 180°C for about an hour or until when shaken, the mixture just jiggles as one. Remove from heat. Allow to cool.  Now, I clearly either baked it too long or at too high a temperature. But I wanted to show it is possible to save at this point.

 This cake was for my daughter's ninth birthday. She is obsessed with unicorns right now, so she wanted a buttercream unicorn cake for her birthday.  This is an 8-inch vanilla cake filled and frosted with uncolored strawberry buttercream.  Then I colored most of the rest of the buttercream light purple, darker purple, pink and blue. I frosted the cake again with light purple buttercream. Then I put the blue, pink and dark purple buttercream in piping bags with star tips and the uncolored buttercream in a piping bag with a medium round tip. I later put the rest of the uncolored buttercream in a piping bag with a star tip. Then I made some ears and a horn out of white fondant.  I piped some closed eyes with eyelashes. Then I placed the ears and horn on the cake. I piped a shell border along the bottom with the uncolored buttercream. Then I piped rosettes out of dark purple. And blue. And then pink. I also filled in some gaps with stars.  I am so proud of this cake...
