This lovely blend of apples, butternut squash and curry is just so yummy! This autumn soup is very creamy even though it is very low in fat. It is even tastier if made in advance and refrigerated before pureeing in blender and reheated when ready to serve, but it isn’t necessary. I served this creamy luscious soup as an appetizer in a demi-tasse for a Fall evening ... Read More »
Apple Almond Cobbler
Another classic to put all your apples to use! This is another easy fool-proof recipe that is a little more time-consuming than my Peach Almond Cobbler or my Strawberry Apple hazelnut Cobbler. That's because the apples have to cook first in their own juices before baking, so that they are perfectly moist. This makes them so sweet and flavorful. In fact, there is no added ... Read More »
French Apple Tart
I have never before been satisfied with so-called-healthy versions of apple tarts! In the several versions that I have tried, the crust doesn’t hold together well and the apples are typically dry. I say “never”--that is, until I created this one! This sweet crust is a nutritionally upgraded version of a classic “pâte sablée” which is typically made with white flour and lots ... Read More »
Rustic Apple Cranberry Galette
Here is a variation on my rustic galette theme (sounds like I should have Bach playing in the background!). This one is with apples, fresh cranberries and a sprinkle of cinnamon! YUM! I also make it with fresh plums, apricots, peaches, you name it! Galettes are the crusty free-form versions of those more sophisticated tarts or pies. They are more rustic and "rough around the ...

I am amazed that it is almost as rich tasting as my original, which already was nutritious and delicious. The crust is made with white whole wheat flour which is light and delicate but still rich in fiber and white wine ... Read More »
