Caramel Apple Strudel

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

I’ve made four of these and the original recipe is good, but I made some changes to suit my taste.

*I used salted butter (and upped it to 1 Tablespoon) and added an extra pinch of salt because the caramel didn’t have a salty enough flavor to balance out the sweetness of the entire dish.

*I used 1/3 of a teaspoon of cinnamon in the topping instead of a 1/4 for a stronger flavor.

*I brought the baking temperature down to 350 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes because at 375 degrees the outside would bake too quickly and the inside would be raw.

*Pillsbury makes a crescent roll dough without the perforations, it’s one single sheet. It’s a little thicker and is much easier to work with.

A couple of notes: Do not take the crescent rolls out of the refridgerator until you are ready to use them. If you do, the dough will soften up and be harder to work with. Also, make sure that the apple/caramel mixture is luke warm or cooler so that it won’t heat up the dough and cause it to soften and tear when you are working with it.
