Here’s another apple recipe! This one to keep those apples “long term” (depends on how quickly you go through the jar of jam!) and still as delicious! Apple cider, warm mulling spices and chunks of Crispin apples all mixed together. This jam tastes sort of like a really intense apple pie filling. Delicious on toast or even mixed into yogurt. A spoonful of autumn!

Definitely getting to be autumn here in New England. And given that I went apple picking on the weekend, I was inspired to make something “apple-ish” today. These Oatmeal cookies include King Arthur Baking apple cinnamon jammie bits and toffee chips too and are a delightful little “florentine-style” (i.e. thin and crispy) oatmeal cookie. Perfect with tea in the afternoon and *may* even be healthy enough to sneak in as a breakfast cookie. Yummy. Welcome autumn!
This is a Zwetschgenkuchen (a plum cake). In Southern Germany, this is the quintessential late summer cake to be served at coffee time or even as dessert. This version uses sourdough as the base for the cake, instead of being yeast-based. It’s delicious and reminds me of my aunt, who had a plum tree in her yard when I was a little girl.
These were so good, I had to make them twice. 🙂 Yep, that’s right. I sampled one from the first batch and before I knew it, I had eaten half my giveaway. Whoopsie! At least I had a lot of Blueberry Jam hanging around. It is blueberry season and if you can get the good ones from Maine (or at very minimum, a jar of Stonewall Kitchen stuff), definitely go with the “Wild blueberry” variety. You won’t be sorry!
