- A Healthful Approach to Pie Baking
Deep
Dish Apple Pie
-all fruit sweetened-
Normally I use Granny Smith apples for baking, for their slight
tartness. However, the frozen apple juice and lemon juice in this
recipe provide plenty, so I recommend any firm apple, other than
Macintosh, in this case.
Pumpkin
Pie
Just as I love roasted squash with brown sugar, I prefer the
richness of brown sugar in my pumpkin pie filling. It does require
blending to break up the lumps in the sugar. If you like, all white
sugar may be used instead

Bars
and Bite-Size Desserts: One for the cookie jar, one to feed the
crowds and one gluten free
Chocolate
Chunk Congo Bars
Adapted from David Lebovitz’ The Great Book of
Chocolate, who in turn reprinted this all time favorite recipe from
Flo Braker. The original recipe calls for chocolate chips, which
you can use. I prefer darker chocolate cut in chunks. With a name
like Congo Bars, I had to add the coconut.
Pear and Cranberry
Bars
-gluten free-
If oats do not fit into a specific gluten free diet, substitute
rolled quinoa or amaranth instead. Both are available at natural
foods stores, along with the other specialty flours and nut meal
listed here.
Pumpkin
Cranberry Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust
This is a great way to feed the crowds. While most cheesecakes
take hours or overnight to set up, you can save time by placing
it in the freezer till cooled. Bake today and serve tonight!

A Coupla Cupcakes
Secret
Lemon Poppyseed Cupcakes
The secret to these cupcakes-- raspberries baked inside! Both
the cake and frosting are tart, sweet and lemony. The burst of color
and tartness from the raspberry is welcome and delicious. But if
I named them Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes, there wouldn’t be any
surprise.
Chocolate
Cupcakes with “Just Like Mom’s “ Frosting
Yummy, moist, very sweet and chocolatey, screaming for a glass
sof cold milk. The oil keeps this cake moist, not dry, even after
refrigeration. As always, choose your cocoa powder wisely. I prefer
the darker types, not “Dutched” or alkalized. This batter
appears VERY liquid, yet will bake up just fine.
