Things that are delicious

First: Crustless apple pie.

For a 9" pie
Innards:
  • 6 cups apples - peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk baking mix
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Topping:
  • 1 cup buttermilk baking mix
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons margarine, chilled
DIRECTIONS
~Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

~In a large bowl, combine apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, white sugar and 1/2 cup baking mix. Stir together the milk and eggs and mix into apple mixture, Pour filling into pie plate and dot with butter.

~To make the Topping: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup baking mix, walnuts, brown sugar and margarine. Mix until crumbly and sprinkle over top of apples.

~Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until apples are cooked and topping is golden brown.

Second: Salmon (this came from Rebecca)

Obtain:
2 lbs. salmon (this can be fresh or frozen, but thaw before you start)
4 Tbs. Dijon mustard
1 Tbs. shallots (I actually like red onion)
3/4 cup olive oil
3 Tbs. lemon juice

Assemble:
Mix bottom 4 ingredients. If you have the time marinate the salmon in the goo but it's good just poured and cooked. How to cook: broil for about 10 min, or grill. I made this for my family and they now expect culinary miracles every time I cook.

I post so many things about food I need to start a blog just for food.
