Butter is a misnomer, here. This is really a thick, warm-spiced apple sauce. While it’s cooking away in the slow cooker, the house will smell like autumn; we love that. Our region has so many wonderful pick-your-own apple farms. Grab some local honey while you’re there to pick a bushel (or two) of apples.
Recipes
Wholesome Apple-Quince Pie
The holidays will be here before you know it. How about trying a pie this year that’s a little out of the ordinary? Quince and apples marry beautifully here, and you’ll bake this one off in your cast-iron skillet.
Lazy Cheese Arepas with Slaw
These cheesy arepas are based on a recipe for the Colombian-style ones, which are distinguished from their Venezuelan counterparts by their flatter, larger shape and the fact that they can be made with yellow—as opposed to white— corn.
Charlotte Druckman’s Slaw
This slaw makes a cool crunchy contrast to Charlotte Druckman’s warm, cheesy Colombian-style arepas.
Carrot-Currant Crostata
We can SO see this on a holiday table. The carrot-currant combination, as author Charoltte Druckman says, is a winner.
Faith’s Super-Light, Super-Good Eggplant Parmesan
When markets and farm stands are flooded with gorgeous and firm eggplants, Faith makes a healthier version of eggplant parmesan, inspired by a dear Italian friend.
