Dutch Apple Pie


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted

  • FILLING:
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1-1/4 cups cold water
  • 3 cups diced peeled tart apples
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats and butter; set aside 1 cup for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture into an ungreased 9-in. pie plate; set aside.
  • For filling, combine the sugar, cornstarch and water in a large saucepan until smooth; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in apples and vanilla.

Yummy Oatmeal Coconut Cookies


 

1 stick unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Salt
3/4 cup Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
2 cup Rolled Oats (not instant)
1/2 cup Coconut (I used unsweetened large flakes)
Sugar in the Raw, topping

preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. Melt your butter in a large bowl (this is a no-mixer required recipe!) add the brown sugar and stir until very smooth. Add the egg and extract and continue to stir until very smooth and lump free. Add the salt and stir, set aside.
2. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Add to the butter mixture and stir together until combined and lump free.
3. Add the oats and the coconut and stir until completely combined and all the oats are coated.
4. This part is crucial. Let dough rest in the fridge for at least one hour. After it has rested and the butter has solidified (making it easier to work with and makes for a more tender cookie) you can scoop out your cookies. Using either a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, you should get roughly 16 cookies out of the dough. Note: I prefer to bake one cookie sheet at a time (for perfectly even baking).
5. Sprinkle the top of each cookie with a little bit of ‘Sugar in the Raw’ or any raw sugar.
6. Bake cookies for 9 – 10 minutes, rotating half way. It may look a little undercooked in the middle, that’s okay. Let rest on the warm cookie sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
