My mom often asks me to make a “German” apple pie. Well, as the expression goes, that ain’t as easy as apple pie! Just like “American” apple pie has about a million variations, so does any other regional variation. What I think my mom means is this custard pie, which is one variation. It’s lovely. Not too sweet, creamy and lush. I used pink lady apples, which hold their shape and stay crisp throughout baking. Quite lovely.

A few weeks ago, I made these really yummy Vanilla/Chocolate Wafer Disk Cookies In my overly ambitious thought at the time, I was actually going to make these Chocolate/Vanilla (ie the reverse) Wafer Disk Cookies at the time too, but sometimes time gets away from me. Instead, I made them today and they are ever bit as delicious as the mirror image ones!
So this is what happens when you are in the mood for chocolate chip cookies and haven’t got any chocolate chips in the house, but *do* have those chocolate melting wafers … voila! Chocolate chip cookies, just with one giant chocolate ship. Worked out pretty well for a spur of the moment decision. Be forewarned though — these do spread quite a bit so leave plenty of space between the cookies on the baking sheet!
Nope, we did not just fast forward to Christmas. These are *not* Christmas Cookies, though I guess they could be. They are “summer flavored” (with lemon and lingonberries) and while that does look like *snow*, it’s just powdered sugar. It is, after all, still a little too early for Christmas (tell that to the shops though!). At any rate, summertime Linzers, delicious any time of year.
