Butter Tart Apple Pie



From Donalda Brown

I like to take a family favorite dessert.

Butter-Tart Apple Pie

takes about 15 min. to get it ready and an hour to bake. Recipe says cut it in 8 smaller pieces. Recipe doesn't call for cinnamon, but I put a tsp. in the crumb topping, and sprinkle some over the apples just before putting on the topping. But we like cinnamon!

Topping:

2/3 cup brown sugar

2/3 cup flour

1/3 cup butter at room temp. (I use margarine)

Mix all together until crumbly. Set aside.

Pie filling:

3 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup white sugar

2 tbsp flour

1/2 cup corn syrup*

*Note:I like the clear, white kind. It's Crown brand and says Lily White Corn syrup. I don't think it's as sweet as the golden syrup. However, the recipe doesn't specify any particular kind.

Whisk eggs with vanilla until foamy. Mix white sugar with the 2 tbsp. of flour and gradually beat into the egg mixture. Stir in corn syrup and set aside.

5 apples peeled and sliced thin - about 5 cups.

(I am using apples that are HUGE, one apple does one pie.)

1/2 cup raisins

1 deep dish pie crust

Layer apples and raisins in crust so that apples are level, then press down lightly with your hand. Pour filling over apples. Sprinkle topping over all. Oven 350. Bake pie on bottom rack of preheated oven for 60 to 70 min. In my convection oven, I bake it for 45 min. at 350, then turn the oven to 325 for another 15 min. and it's done! Cool before slicing. Store in fridge.

Growing and Using Garlic Chives
Garlic chives, Allium tuberosum, is a hardy perennial (Zones 3-9) that will grow to about 12 inches high. The stems are skinnier and flat, instead of hollow as are regular chives, with greenish white blooms that are about an inch wide and not as rounded. They bloom in the summer rather than spring. The bloom stalks grow much taller than the leaves, sometimes up to 30 inches.

The stems and blooms are both edible and have a mild garlic onion taste. I've noticed many writers will list this as primarily as an Asian herb, as they are also known as Chinese chives, Chinese leeks, ku chai (China) or Nira (Japan), but it has many other uses as well!

The Perfect Porch Swing
Perhaps it is the soothing rhythm or the reassuring creak of the porch swing that attracts us. Perhaps it is the companionable silence or quiet conversation. Or maybe swings simply remind us of more genteel times.

Although porch swings can be purchased in a wide range of materials, the most common are wicker and wood. You can also make your own porch swing from one of the myriad of woodworking patterns available at garden centers, hardware stores, or on the Internet.
