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.
Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
The butter should be gently cut into the flour so it remains in small lumps. This will result in a light, crunchy topping.

It’s easier than you think to make homemade pizza dough! So skip the truly “cardboard” pizza the next time you’re at the grocery store and grab the good old fixings instead. In this post, we’ll tell you what you need to know to make made from scratch pizza crust.
Ingredients
1C.hot water
1packet of quick rise yeast1/4 ounce
2C.all purpose flour
1t.salt
1T.olive oil
Instructions
Mix hot water and yeast together in a small bowl. Set aside for five minutes.
Mix together the flour and salt in a medium bowl.
Gradually add the yeast and flour mixture to the flour and salt.
Add the olive oil and stir with a fork.
When well blended, place dough ball on a floured surface.
Knead dough and gradually add flour as needed until it is no longer sticky. Knead dough for 5-10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and pliable.
Roll dough out on oiled pizza pan or stoneware baking pan.
Bake in 450 degree oven for 5-10 minutes or until crust is just staring to brown. Remove from oven and add your favorite pizza sauce and toppings.
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.

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
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.
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.
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
6-8tablespoonsolive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 medium carrots, very finely chopped or grated
about 4 garlic cloves
3 cups home-canned chopped tomatoes with liquid or use store-bought
This recipe has a blend of white flour and wheat flour. If you wanted to just use all wheat, though, you could (conversely, if you wanted to turn this into an all-white bread, you could just use all white flour).
INGREDIENTS
1 1 /4 cup warm water
2 tablespoonshoney
1cupbuttermilk (use other milk if you wish)
1tablespoon or cakeof dry, active yeast
2cupswhite flour
1 cupwhole wheat flour
2teaspoonssalt
2tablespoonssoft 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!

You may need to add a little water during cooking period. Serve immediately.
Rosemary sprigs and pomegranate seeds, for garnish
Directions:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
