Serve this cake with your mid-morning coffee or tea, or for dessert when company comes to dine. To sour the milk, stir in the vinegar, then let the mixture sit for five minutes before adding it to other ingredients.

Make this simple yet delicious dessert any night of the week. Pop it in the oven when you sit down to dinner, and it will be ready to eat by the time you’ve finished your meal. To partially core apples, we use a coring tool, being careful not to push it through to the bottom of the apple. We then use a grapefruit spoon to dig out the now-separated core.

If you’re afraid to try to make a traditional-crust apple pie, this recipe is for you. Don’t let its more casual appearance fool you, its Grand Marnier-kissed flavor is incredible. Your friends will rave about this “pie” for months!

This is the classic apple pie that you remember from Grandma’s kitchen. Two pounds of apples – that’s 6-8 medium-sized fruits – should yield enough slices for one 9-inch pie. Use store-bought pie pastry, or make your own. Reprinted here with permission of Lunds & Byerlys.
