Swedish Apple Pie

Swedish Apple Pie by Salad Foodie

"Easy as pie" as the saying goes. But this recipe is really EASIER than pie! Sliced Granny Smith apples go in the pie dish first, followed by a quick and simple topping. The topping settles down around the apples during baking and becomes lightly crisp - so good! Based on The Apple Lover's Cookbook by Amy Traverso.

Peach Rum Sauce

Peach Rum Sauce by Salad Foodie

Lip-smacking delicious! A spoonful of this delicately flavored luscious sauce turns ordinary desserts into memorable treats. Warm and serve over ice cream, or use for French toast or your morning breakfast bread. The first time I made this recipe (found on freshpreserving.com) I was skeptically cautious, canning it in small jars to…

Potluck Apricot Cobbler

Potluck Apricot Cobbler by Salad Foodie

An old-fashioned cobbler makes a hit with crowds and one of my favorite cobbler fruits is apricots. These perky golden first fruits of summer have a nice balance of sweet and tart. Fresh in-season fruit is preferred, but I have often used my stash of frozen cots from season’s past, and they work well for cobblers, as do canned. This…

Apple Harvest Cake

Apple Harvest Cake by Salad Foodie

For apple season this is a slam-dunk! It's especially pleasing for its moistness and chunks of apple, plus folks appreciate a cake without frosting for a change! This one's a keeper for your fall pot lucks! Single recipe makes an 8" x 8" size; double it for a 9" x 13" pan for pot lucks.

Crockpot Applesauce (easily converts to no-sugar-added)

Crockpot Applesauce (easily converts to no-sugar-added) by Salad Foodie

My answer for using up the fall harvest of apples is crockpot applesauce. There are many versions of the recipe out there, but experimenting over time, I have come to like this one best. It will keep about one week refrigerated, or several months frozen. Whether you have a few apples or many, this is a good way to make a healthier…

Blueberry Clafouti

Blueberry Clafouti by Salad Foodie

The bounty of fresh fruits in summer is an ideal time to make clafouti, a baked French dessert or breakfast dish with a batter or crepe-like topping. Traditionally black cherries are used, but plums, cranberries, blackberries and others work well. I like the delicate elegance of the clafouti, distinctly different from fruit cobblers…

Fresh Apricot Cobbler

Fresh Apricot Cobbler by Salad Foodie

So much easier than making a pie ~ I love the homey cobbler!!! I prepare apricot cobbler in this order: first measure the cobbler biscuit topping ingredients in bowl, and prepare it just up to AND BEFORE adding the milk; set aside (the milk will be added at the last minute.) Second, prepare the apricot mixture, cook, thicken and…

Couldn't be an easier pie to make - and perfect for summer's lighter menu fare. A nice do-ahead gelatin dessert that takes just minutes to prepare. You can "have your pie and eat it too" for less than 150 calories per slice when you make a few changes to the recipe below: just substitute no-added-sugar gelatin, reduced-fat graham…

Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie by Amos Miller

Too early for real, fresh fruit pies here - but Spring brings Key Limes, and that means unbaked Key Lime Pie with a slightly sweetened sour cream topping. I use pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs, so there is no issue with salmonella and I can move the pies from prep to cooler. Saves a load of time and makes a fabulous, flavorful,…
