Apple Danish

Posted on October 28, 2011 by sparecake

I had some ups and downs with this recipe (I MASSIVELY screwed up the dough at first due to lack of adequate recipe reading), but in the end it was so good I would have been very happy with it … Continue reading →

While I am getting towards the bottom of my giant bag of apples from NH, there’re still enough for a few more recipes, including this one, an apple pie you bake in a bag. I’ve never been super confident when … Continue reading →

Apple Cheddar Pierogies

Posted on October 24, 2011 by sparecake

Apple cheddar everything is pretty much my life right now. Such a good combo! I’ve always liked the Mrs. T’s potato and cheddar pierogies, but thought adding apple might be even better. I’d say it was! The filling was tasty, and I … Continue reading →

Posted on October 21, 2011 by sparecake

Posted on October 14, 2011 by sparecake

The last of the recipes I made from the Orville Redenbacher cookbook (after the cherry coffee cake and the chicken pot pie) requires Orville Redenbacher caramel corn. It’s kind of hard to find except at WalMart (whose site will tell … Continue reading →

Chocolate Marshmallow Cake

Posted on October 10, 2011 by sparecake
