Apple Wrap & An Apple Face

 

We are enjoying our Apple days... Today we made an Apple Wrap Pie. You just add 2/3 cups brown sugar,1/3 cup flour, 4 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples, 1 tablespoon margarine together in a bowl...Roll out a 13 inch circle of your favorite pastry dough, place on a cookie sheet.



Mound apple mixture onto the center of the circle leaving at least 3 inches of edge. Fold over edge of pastry over apples, making pleats so it lays flat on apples.Sprinkle pastry with sugar. Heat oven to 425 degrees and bake for 30~35 minutes until golden brown. Cool one hour or serve warm if desired. You can serve this with ice cream or whipped cream...I made homemade whipped cream for ours. Yum!
( my mixture baked fine except the sugar mixture didn't melt all the way)...
So be sure you mix the mixture really good before putting
 it on the pastry before baking...
It was still really good though!!!

Freckles also took a lovely red apple
 to make a dried apple face doll.



This process will take a couple weeks until it shrivels
 and starts to look like an old granny...
I can see it becoming a great Italian Christmas La Befana doll.


I hope you enjoyed the red apples, my red apple corer, a red plate,
 a red bowl my mom gave me over the weekend and red & white gingham napkins
Have a Happy Rednesday!

  9. I did apples last week, and I love what you have done with them! I don't know why I didn't think to have my kidlets make the apple faces? I used to love doing that! Thanks for the reminder :)
