Three Safe-to-Eat Cookie Doughs: Chocolate Chip, Sugar, and Cake Batter!

If you follow Willow Bird Baking on Facebook or Twitter (you do, right?) , you’ve probably heard me whining about it lately (okay, maybe this isn’t the best way to encourage you to follow). It started with a sore throat and has turned into a beastly, phlegmatic ogre of a cold that has taken up residence in my chest and commenced hanging draperies and such. I have protested this development with various hot teas, soups, and my favorite home remedy suggested by readers: complaining.

Blackberry-Swirl Pound Cake. Deep-Dish Sour Cream–Apple Pie with Lemon Streusel Recipe. I’m not a very experienced baker, but I decided to get serious on this one and follow the recipe to a “T.”

Deep-Dish Sour Cream–Apple Pie with Lemon Streusel Recipe

Wow, what a pie. I served my pie with Hagen Dazs vanilla bean ice cream, but it can easily stand alone. The flavors and aromas are perfect–thank goodness I invested in Dede Wilson’s book… The crust recipe barely made enough crust for my liking, I think next time I might increase the recipe. I found it helpful to press my dough into the larger than 9-inch round and two 8-by-2-inch strips before even putting it in the fridge for the first time. I used a combination of fresh farmer’s market Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Pink Lady Apples ( about 9 total) and found this combination worked nicely.

This is such an elegant apple pie, and hands down one of the best I’ve tasted, let alone made. The Best German Apple Pie Recipe Ever — Cooking by the seat of our pants. When we invited our friends over for Christmas this year, I only asked for one thing.

The Best German Apple Pie Recipe Ever — Cooking by the seat of our pants

I asked for the apple pie pictured above and the recipe that went with it. The fact that the pie dish pictured was also given to us was a bonus (and a very nice one, thanks guys!) But the real gift is a pie that I will gladly make and share with friends and family for the rest of my life. I know I say this all the time, but the simple things in life are usually the best. This holds true with food as well. This has to be just about the simplest recipe for a German apple pie I have ever seen. I know that statement may ruffle a few feathers. The recipe as given to me is only for the pie filling. Deeply Chocolate Gelato Recipe : Ina Garten.

But man oh man, somehow I have gotten on a mega baking kick lately. And since I tend to prefer savory to sweet, the object of my affection as of late has been this epic 3-ingredient biscuit recipe that has pretty much changed my life. Ok, at least it has changed my breakfast. I have already made it 3 times since and counting! That recipe is coming on the blog tomorrow. It’s fairly rare that I have a bag of self-rising flour sitting in my pantry, partly because it doesn’t stay fresh as long with that baking powder mixed in. So bookmark this recipe if you ever need it for the future. Read more Happy day, friends! I hope this finds you well, wherever you may be. Thankfully, life seems well here too.
