I have several great recipes to share tonight. We had a good supper -- everyone was very happy afterward and there were many kisses for the cook -- always a good sign.
To celebrate St. Henry's Feast Day we had a Bavarian Apple Torte. I found this recipe at catholicculture.org and it was not only great tasting, but extremely easy to make. I had a sous chef today, my five-year-old Peach, and I can honestly say that except for reading the recipe, measuring, and peeling the apples (and putting it in the hot oven) she made it herself. Pretty spectacular.
I only made one change to the recipe -- because of Michael's tree nut allergies, I toasted the almonds separately and sprinkled them on the individual servings.
Pressing the dough into the springform pan.
Cracking the egg. I caught this picture just before it went all over the counter!
Spreading the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
Cutting the apples. We use Galas and Jonagolds.
Tossing the apples with the cinnamon and sugar.
Ready to go into the oven -- next time I'll wrap the pan in foil so the sugar doesn't leak out. I did at least put it on a cookie sheet so that it didn't leak onto the oven floor.
The sous chef after she licked the cinnamon sugar off of her hands. That's a happy sugar smile.
The finished product. Yum!
