Hot on the heels of completing the writing of my cooking column for the March 2012 Friends of Gladys Taber newsletter, I had this desire to keep on cooking/baking.
Glenn wanted his 'go to' favorite - apple pie.
I was feeling a bit more creative; I wanted to try something new. So, I searched through some of the recipes that accompany my magazine subscriptions. I found one called Pear-Cinnamon Streusel Squares. (Family Circle Hometown Favorites Cookbook Vol. 4 supplement) Apples could be used as a substitute to the pears. Directions were easy, ingredients were on hand in my pantry.
As usual, I began following the directions, and ended with making 'my' modifications. I really made just plain Apple Streusel Squares - no pears, no added cinnamon-flavored pieces - more like apple pie squares.
Taste? Delicioso!
Glenn's comment, "Why didn't you add raisins?"
(palm of hand hitting forehead) I did not even think to do that...there is always next time!
