Apple Galette: October 15, 2010
This was a spur-of-the-moment-use-up-extra-dough recipe, so I didn’t have
any traditional ‘pie’ apples on hand; but the Jazz apples I did have worked
surprisingly well.
Parfait! Apple Galette and One Fine Crust: August 31, 2012
I made pâte à foncer – a French take on your basic pie dough, and added some ground cloves to make up for a bland batch of apples.

Plan for an hour’s cooling time in the fridge after each dipping, but these tasty treats will be worth the wait.
Parfait! Salted Caramel Cake Pops: December 27, 2013
These are mebbe better than the first batch in three ways: I just made the cake according to package directions (the really lovely extra egg and mayonnaise version makes a great cake, but is mebbe a tad too rich for all that is then added to make cake pops). Next, I eliminated the pop sticks. My cake balls were too big for them anyway, and kept falling off. Lastly, instead of searching out a jar of salted caramel sauce at Trader Joe’s or some pricey specialty shoppe, I made my own (easy) dulce de leche and added sea salt and a drop of brandy. YUM.
