I follow Martha Stewart's pate brisee recipe (subbing non-dairy margarine and my gluten-free flour) and this time I used Russet apples and this recipe for the filling because I didn't have the time to precook it. I also add golden raisins, extra cinnamon and dark brown instead of white sugar. Cinnamon sugar on top.
I like MS's recipes ans TV programme. I never pre-cook apples and only add some vanilla and or a small amount of cinnamon.
Apple pie is really an underrated dessert.
Apple pie is hubby's favorite. I don't make it often, much to his despair, lol

I love any dessert with fruit, but apple pie really is something special.

Oooh, I love cranberries and am always searching for more ways to use them! Tell me more, please.
I kind of wing it when I do this, but generally I put in a cup or so (raw) and maybe use one or two apples fewer than I normally would. I also use half brown sugar and and half white sugar instead of all white sugar.
I'm sure that he prefers your other numerous talents and is just making a fuss about pie !
So I made the nanaimo bars and they taste great, but they are a little drier than I prefer. I think I will have to tinker with the recipe a bit. The crust part was way too crumbly. I think less coconut and a tad more butter will do the trick. The flavor rocks, though. Cocoa and walnuts and sugar and even the coconut are a find combo . The custard part was fabulous, though. I used a dry vanilla pudding mix (accidentally vegan, yay) because I didn't have actual custard powder. I will take a pic later. (They also don't look as pretty as the ones posted in here, but I will improve upon them. )

Send me a slice over pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze.
Well done for making them and for the feedback.
Lol, I wish I could! I am going to foist half of them on my co-workers in a little bit. The other half (the recipe makes a ton) I will save for our next book club meeting next week (if I don't eat them all, haha). They keep up to three weeks, according to the instructions.

You're joking ! They don't know you !
LOL! I am at work, but I will take a pic of some of the remaining ones when I get home. It will be a while, though.
It'll be tomorrow for me as it's nearly time to go to bed.
Here's my version of the Nanaimo bars. They are delicious and they were a big hit at work. Three people asked for the recipe!
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!!!! PTree, they are FABULOUS!
Howabout starting a Nanaimo Bar bakery ?
PTree, do you mind posting the recipe and photo in the Recipe section under Bakes ? It would be easier to find the recipe in this manner. Thanx !
