Cactus Apple Surprise ~ World of Warcraft

You will need:

And six pretty apples.

6 medium apples

1 cup orange juice
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup crushed walnuts, toasted
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup honey

Remove a 1/2-inch slice from tops of the apples. 
With a melon baller or a spoon remove core, stopping about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the apple. 

In a medium bowl combine oats, brown sugar, almonds, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. 

Stir in softened butter until combined. 
Arrange the prepared apples in a baking dish 

Fill and top apples with oat mixture. 

When ready to bake, pour remaining orange juice around the apples and cover with foil. 

Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 50 minutes. 

Check them at 30 minutes and again at 45. 
I baked them for 50 minutes and I baked them too long. 
You can see they started falling apart.


Remove foil; bake for 10 to 15 minutes more or until tender. 

Cool about 30 minutes. 
Transfer to a platter or plates and drizzle with honey. 
Server hot with ice cream or cold with vanilla yogurt.

 I had neither, I am a sad panda.

Blueberry Pie Filling

You will need:

Pie crust, divided into two dough balls. To see the recipe on how to make them, click here.

If the dough is frozen let sit out to thaw completely.

Take one ball & roll it out to fit the pie plate you are using.

Trim the extra overhang of dough. I use scissors but you can use a knife, pizza cutter or anything really.

Sometimes you get tears or holes. Not to worry, use some of the dough you trimmed off the edges to patch. You can see my patch job here.

Fill with blueberry pie filling.  I used one can & I threw in some frozen blueberries too.

 I rolled out the top just like the  bottom and place it on top of the pie. Trim the edges again and use a fork to press the top layer of dough into the bottom layer.

I had some dough leftover so I made little blueberries & some leaves. If you want to get creative with the extra dough go for it. Use a bit of water on the back of each decoration so it sticks to the pie and doesn't roll around.

Don't forget to cut slits in the pie for the bubbles and steam to escape

.

Put the pie on an older cookie sheet to catch the spill over of the pie. You don't want that bubbly mess on the bottom of your stove.

Yum!

Apple Pie Filling

Yum!

If you could just smell my kitchen. Apple pie, cinnamon, nutmeg. Apple Pie Filling is going to be a staple in this house. I can feel it. I'm not even going to make a pie with it. I'm going to put it on.

• Waffles
• Pancakes
• Ice Cream
• French Toast
• Granola
• Pound Cake

5 medium sized thinly sliced apples (peeled and cored)

2-1/2 tsp (13 ml) lemon juice

1 cup (200 g) sugar

1/2 cup (60g) flour

1/2 tsp (3 ml) ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp (2 ml) salt

1/8 tsp (1ml) ground nutmeg

2-1/2 cups (600 ml) water

Slice the apples thin into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and set aside.

In a pot on the stove add the water, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. It will start to thicken right away so stir constantly. Bring to a boil and let boil for 2 minutes, keep stirring.  

Add the apples and lemon juice.

Bring back to a slow boil cover, reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes. 
Check at 5 minutes.

Cool for 30 minutes. Now you can do whatever with it. Make a pie, can it, put it in sealed containers and freeze or my favorite serve over vanilla ice cream.
