Chia Almond Butter Fruit Dip

August 11, 2014 By Debbie

This is a yummy fruit dip to make and makes eating an apple seem not so ordinary. You’ll want to let the yogurt mixture sit for an hour or two to let the chia soften.

June 5, 2014 By Debbie

It’s time again for the recipe that caught my attention from the 1940 cookbook my Grandma handed down. This month I saw a recipe for an Apple Upside-Down Cake. I changed it up a bit and it was delicious.

1/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 large apples
1 1/2 cups Spelt flour or flour of your choice
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp vanilla

Melt the butter and sugar in an oven-proof skillet or pan. I found my cast iron pan worked well.

The finished caramel will look like this. Set aside while prepping the apples.

Peel, core and slice apples and place on top of caramel.

Place the batter on top of the apples. Now it’s ready for the oven.

Flip onto a serving platter or pan when cake comes out of the oven. Be careful – it’s very hot. But this needs to be done because caramel will harden quickly and once it’s hard the cake won’t release from the pan.

I had never heard of apples being used in this type of cake. Has anyone had it before?
