Desserts

Well it’s Thanksgiving Week in the US this week, so we all know that means Turkey, stuffing and PIE!. I will actually be flying to Germany on that day (I often am, to be honest), but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t take the time to make a couple of pies in the lead up to the big event. This is a basic lattice top apple pie, covered in a hearty layer of crunchy, course sugar. I like the extra crunch to contrast the soft apple filling. Can’t find Pink Lady apples? Substitute Honey Crisp (my fave!) or in a pinch granny smiths!

Yes, more plums. Like I said, I absolutely love them, and while the season is so short, I try to maximize the fresh ones. The last cake used Mirabelle plums, this time, Italian Prune Plums, aka Damson plums. This is more of a batter cake too, so easy to get together in about an hour. Delicious!
