Living Insanity's Loving Food

I got to use my tiny apple cookie cutter to decorate this apple pie.

When I reviewed Againn I think I mentioned a chocolate pecan tart for dessert. I invited friends over for dinner and tried to make my own chocolate pecan tart. It was very chocolately. 1 pie shell, I used a graham cracker shell 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate 1 1/4 cup cream chopped pecans First I toasted the shell in a 350 degree oven Place pecans in the bottom of the shell Then I boiled the cream and poured it over pieces of the bittersweet chocolate I stirred the mixture together and poured it over the pecan pieces Chill in the fridge until the ganache is set.

She has to eat soft foods We made pasta for dinner and I made a super easy tart Mini Custard Fruit Tarts I ended up using one store bought graham cracker crust which I toasted in the oven a bit After my filling chilled in the fridge I topped my custard tart with bananas and toasted almonds. yum! If the beach grocery store had fresh berries it was going to be banana strawberry.

I used my usual apple pie filling recipe pastry crust 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup flour 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon cinnamon dash dalt 8 cups thinly sliced tart apples (Granny Smith) 3 tablespoons butter then I made a crumb topping for my pie Ingredients Brown Sugar- 1/2 cup Oats- 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts- 1 small packet Butter- I used too much :( and it made my pie soupy even after cooling it was a little too soupy. I used 1/2 cup butter, please only use 2 tablespoons! Heat oven to 400 degrees bake about 40 minutes. Watch your pie because the crumb topping can burn

You have to make this right away.
