Have you ever had one of those recipes that gets lost and then finds it way back home again? I pulled out a cookbook I hadn't used in years and found this recipe tucked neatly inside. This is an impressive presentation for your guests. Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/2-3/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
3/4 cup water |
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons butter |
4 1/2 cups sliced peeled apples |
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter |
1/4 cup fat-free half-and-half |
1 egg, slightly beaten |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

4. Slowly add water, stirring constantly.
5. While continuing to stir, bring to a boil.
6. Add lemon juice, butter and apples.

8. To prepare the biscuit crust, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together in a mixing bowl.
9. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

11. Turn onto floured board and knead 7 times.
