  • 2 ½ cups apples – peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter, softened

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

  2. Arrange apple slices evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sift flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender, or 2 knives, until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal; sprinkle over apples.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

  4. The butter should be gently cut into the flour so it remains in small lumps. This will result in a light, crunchy topping.

Almond Cookie Bars with Coconut.

Almond Cookie Bars with Coconut.

HOW TO MAKE COOKIE BARS WITH ALMOND FLOUR

This buttery cookie is made much like shortbread. Except we are using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour is my favorite {not sponsored, just a big fan}.

Baking with almond flour is very common in gluten free baking. You use it much like regular flour, but the two can’t usually be swapped for one another without making additional recipe changes. Almond flour is made of finely ground almonds so it reacts differently from regular flour made of wheat.

Remember to pin this recipe to Pinterest! Use the button on the recipe card or the share buttons on the side or bottom of this page.

INGREDIENTS FOR THIS GLUTEN FREE RECIPE

ingredients for almond cookie bars with coconut
  • Almond flour ~ I used Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour
  • Confectioners’ sugar ~ adds softness and some sweetness
  • Kosher salt ~ if using table salt, use a little less
  • Coconut ~ use flaked or shredded, the kind that looks like shredded cheese. If you don’t want long strands in the cookie bars, give it a little chop before adding to the recipe.
  • Unsalted butter ~ because this is a shortbread like base, I recommend a good quality European butter such as Plugra or Kerrygold.
  • Chocolate ~ I used a chopped milk chocolate bar {I always have Trader Joe’s Pound Plus bars in my baking cabinet}, but you could use chocolate chips and dark chocolate, if preferred.
  • Almonds ~ dry roasted almonds were chopped for the topping, but you could also use sliced or slivered almonds.
HOW TO MAKE ALMOND COOKIE BARS WITH COCONUT AND CHOCOLATE

Start by preparing an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. This is the USA Pan that I use and love.

Then add the almond flour, confectioners’ sugar, coconut and kosher salt in a bowl and mix to combine. I use my pastry cutter for this {less dishes to wash!}. Next add the unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.

Now press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 12 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly browned. Remember your oven is different than mine and our baking times might be slightly different.

unbaked buttery almond flour base in baking pan

When the cookie is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate over the hot bars. Allow it to sit for three minutes, then use an off-set spatula to smooth the melted chocolate over the almond cookie.

Sprinkle coconut and chopped almonds over the top of the melted chocolate. Then use clean hands to lightly press the coconut and almonds in to the melted chocolate.

Now comes the hard part, waiting for them to cool! It takes about an hour for the cookies to be cool enough to slice them into bars without them falling apart. You can speed this process up by placing the pan in the refrigerator once it is cool enough to handle with bare hands.

WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS COOKIE BAR RECIPE

  • It’s EASY! Active time is 10-15 minutes.
  • No chill time.
  • Uses cold butter.
  • Creates soft and chewy almond cookie bars, with almond joy like flavors.
  • A great cookie bar for those needing a dessert without flour.

Classic One-Pot Pasta. Made the Amish way.

Visits: 22

Classic One-Pot Pasta. Made the Amish way.

This pasta dish doesn’t have to be made with spaghetti, you can use rotini, penne pasta, or noodles. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the spaghetti and it is delicious. Leftovers of this supper can be stored in an airtight container and put in the fridge. Out of all the one-pot pasta recipes I’ve tried this is one of the best and most flavorful.

Pasta is often seen as an Italian creation and perhaps it is, but the Amish have definitely embraced homemade pasta – especially noodles – as their own. Most noodles just take eggs, flour, and salt and some patience and you have a delicious dish.

Their diet revolves around self-sufficiency and locally-grown foods. They often make their own egg noodles, which are similar to pasta, and sometimes even other types like ravioli or lasagna.

INGREDIENTS.
  • 12 ounces spaghetti or homemade egg noodles
  • 6-8 tablespoons olive oil
  • medium onions, chopped
  • medium carrots, very finely chopped or grated
  • about 4 garlic cloves
  • cups home-canned chopped tomatoes with liquid or use store-bought
  • Tbsp tomato puree
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, allspice (to taste) salt, pepper
INSTRUCTIONS.
  • In a pot, heat the oil and saute onion until translucent.
  • Add carrots and garlic and saute for 1 more minute.
  • Add chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, sugar, spices   about 4 cups broth. Bring to boil and cook for about 15 minutes.
  • Add spaghetti and simmer until the pasta is   about 15 minutes. Stir from time In a pot, heat the oil and saute onion until translucent.
  • Add carrots and garlic and saute for 1 more minute.

Whole Wheat Buttermilk Batter Bread.

  • tablespoons honey
  • 1 cup buttermilk (use other milk if you wish)
  • 1 tablespoon or cake of dry, active yeast

  • cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons soft shortening
INSTRUCTIONS
  • Dissolve yeast in water, add honey, half the white flour, salt and shortening.
  • Mix well. Blend in remaining flour with spoon. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir batter down and spread it evenly in a greased loaf pan, 9 X 5 X 3 inches
  • Let rise in warm place until batter reaches 1 /2 in from the top of pan.
  • About 40 minutes. Bake at 375 for 40 – 40 minutes. Brush top with shortening. Makes 1 loaf.

Cheese Stuffed Meatballs | Meatball Party Appetizer

It’s a simple recipe with some wonderfully complex and classic flavors. Like any meatball, a simple ground beef mixture is the base of the recipe, along with the right combination of spices. Once the meatballs are rolled up, you then place a mozzarella cube in the center of each meatball, taking care to ensure the cheese is entirely covered. Then all that’s required is popping them in the oven.

You’ve had meatballs before, but certainly not like this, and never this tasty!

    2. Place the cookies in the bowl of a large food processor. Process until finely crushed, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and pour the melted butter over top. Stir with a fork to combine. Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie plate. Bake until set, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
    3. For the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the peanut butter with the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add the thawed whipped topping and beat until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
    4. Pour the filling into the crust, evening out the top with a knife or spatula. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.

Tip: This is ultra, ultra-rich. Cut small slivers—your guests will thank you!

Mary Yoders is the place to be. Part 2. Back in July I did an article on one of my favorite Restaurants. Mary Yoder’s. Since we’re going there tomorrow to meet some friends, I thought I would post a link and an Amish recipe.

We’ve had their bread, pies, pastry, plus jelly and jams. For those who don’t live nearby, they have online ordering.

    salted butter, melted, plus more for the pan 

  • 6 

    large eggs, separated 

  • 1/4 tsp. 

    cream of tartar 

  • 1/4 tsp. 

    kosher salt 

  • 3/4 c. 

    granulated sugar 

  • 3/4 c. 

    all-purpose flour 

  • 1/4 c. 

    unsweetened cocoa powder 

  • 1/2 tsp. 

    baking powder 

  • 1 tsp. 

    pure vanilla extract 

  • 1/4 c. 

    strong brewed coffee, at room temperature 

  • 1/4 c. 

    powdered sugar 

FOR THE FILLING:

  • 4 oz. 

    cream cheese, at room temperature 

  • 1/2 c. 

    powdered sugar, sifted 

  • 1 c. 

    heavy cream 

  • 1 tsp. 

    vanilla extract 

FOR THE FROSTING:

  • 12 oz. 

    semisweet chocolate, chopped 

  • 3/4 c. 

    heavy cream 

  • 1 tbsp. 

    light corn syrup 

  • Rosemary sprigs and pomegranate seeds, for garnish 

Directions: 

  1. To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides. Butter the parchment. 
  2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until frothy. Add 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and beat on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 2 minutes. 
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. In a separate large bowl, combine the egg yolks, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and the vanilla. Beat on high speed until thick and creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the melted butter and coffee until combined. 
  4. Add the flour mixture to the yolk mixture and beat on low speed until well combined. Fold a spoonful of the beaten egg whites into the batter until no streaks remain. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until combined.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, gently nudging the batter so it fills the corners. Give the pan a little shimmy to even it out. Bake until the top just starts to spring back when gently pressed, 10 to 12 minutes (the top might still feel a little tacky). Do not over-bake or the cake will crack. 
  6. Place a clean dish towel on a large wire rack. Dust the cake with 2 tablespoons of the powdered sugar. While the cake is still hot, loosen the edges from the pan, then turn out the cake onto the towel; carefully remove the parchment. Dust the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. 
  7. Starting at one of the long sides, use the towel to tightly roll up the cake with the towel inside. Position the cake seam-side down and let cool about 1 hour. 
  8. To make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on low speed until just smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually beat in the heavy cream 1/4 cup at a time, making sure the mixture is smooth before adding more cream. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until stiff peaks form, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and beat for a few more seconds, just to combine.
  9. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread evenly with the filling, leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch border on all sides. Re-roll the cake, using the towel to help you. Cover the cake roll with parchment paper and then tightly wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 2 hours. 
  10. Meanwhile, for the frosting: To a medium bowl, add the chocolate. In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream and corn syrup to a simmer, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Let thicken at room temperature until spreadable, about 2 hours. 
  11. Unwrap the cake on a cutting board. Cut off one-fourth of the cake on a sharp diagonal for the branch. Position the branch against the remaining cake roll on a platter. Cover the cake with the frosting using an offset spatula, then drag a fork through the frosting to create a bark-like texture. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and pomegranate seeds.
