AmBear is bringing some recipes (Oh my Yum!) to share with us today but before we get to the good eats allow me to introduce to you her awesome series (if you haven’t already heard about it!).

Chaos Unleashed Book One in the Pedalstem Lillie Series

This isn’t your mother’s sweet love story and it’s not your sister’s fairytale. Chaos Unleashed is dark, dangerous, and highly addictive. You will share in every experience the hero and heroine have, as their quest for the truth leads them to the hateful dark void that threatens to consume their souls.
Pedalstem is shrouded in darkness, leaving Castle Deverox in a vortex of confusion. Blaze awakens to find men she doesn’t know looming over, intent on capture, a handsome prisoner sharing her fate, and the gut tightening knowledge that her memories have been stolen.

I happen to know that she loves the holidays and today she is sharing some of her favorite holiday recipes with us. So get out your bib, your fork and a smile. Let’s eat!

Take it away AmBear!

This is the recipe for the Apple Crumble Pie I make every year during Thanksgiving holidays. I seems, wow every year-doesn’t that get boring-But if you new me, you’d totally get it. I am more of a Martha Stewert (the decorating part) than a Betty Crocker kind of gal 😀  This pie- even after I finished with it- Is good and all my friends love it. So, they ask that I make it, ya know since they know it’s gonna give them food poisoning or anything 😀 Anyway, I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do. Happy Holidays!

 

Apple Crumble

 

Ingredients

Filling:

  • 4 large Golden Delicious apples (about 3 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping:

  • 1 cup walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch fine salt
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional

Directions

Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.

Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/4-inch slices. Place apples in a large mixing bowl and toss with sugar, lemon juice, flour, and cinnamon. Pour into a lightly greased 9 by 13-inch baking dish, and spread out into an even layer. Set aside.

In another large bowl, mix together the nuts, flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, gently work in the cold butter until pea-sized lumps are formed.

Top apples evenly with mixture and bake until apples are bubbly and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes, rotating once halfway through cooking.

Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.

My Special Tweek to this recipe is that instead of using 4 Granny smith apples (which are the big Red apples) I use 3 green apples and 1 red apple. It’s give the pie a little more kick because of the tart 😀  Enjoy!

 

 

HOT APPLE CIDER  
4 c. apple cider
8 tbsp. red hot candyPour 4 cups apple cider into small saucepan and heat to boiling point. Pour hot cider into cups or mugs. Add 2 tablespoons red hots to each cup of hot liquid and stir until candies are melted.
 

Another tasty tidbit~ When you’re making the Hot apple cider, not only will your house have that home cooked apple aroma, but when you boil the red hots candy-Oh my, love the smell of cinnamon!

 

Thank you for joining Cambria and I today and I hope that these recipes bring you and family as much as they bring ours 😀  Happy Holidays!

About the Author

Although I have always enjoyed writing, the dream to become a writer came when I read A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, in the sixth grade. My early works, not published, were in the form of children’s stories I would read to my two daughters. I divide my days between the real world and the ones I’ve created. My life and my characters keep me very busy in my Mid-Western scene, where I live with my husband, and my children (both human and furry.
