Fun Fall Recipes

Here are some fun fall recipes.  My mom gave me the recipe for the caramel apple tart which is delicious.  Parker loves to help me make this one.  The second recipe is a casserole we had at the Relief Society Broadcast.  Hope you enjoy!

Caramel Apple Tart

Crust

1 ½ cups flour

1 ½ tbsp sugar

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ tsp. cayenne pepper

¼ tsp salt

1 stick butter

3 tbsp. ice water

3 tbsp breadcrumbs

Filling

5 Granny Smith apples pealed and sliced

1 cup sugar

3 tbsp. flour

2 tsp. cinnamon

Topping

¾ cup sugar

½ cup flour

¼ cup cold butter

1 tsp. vanilla extract

For the crust, mix the flour, sugar, cheese, cayenne pepper and salt together in an electric mixer. Cut in butter until mixture is coarse crumbs and then add cold water. Do not over mix. Mixture will hold together when pressed between your fingers.

Pour into a well-greased 9 inch springform pan. Press mixture into bottom and up the sides of the pan. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the crust.

For the filling, gently combine all the ingredients together and then pour into crust.

For the topping, combine all the ingredients together and then sprinkle over the apple filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes until golden brown on top.

Drizzle with warm butterscotch caramel sauce (Mrs. Richardson’s). Makes 8-10 servings.
