Recipe: Creamy Egg Rum Punch

I asked the boys what kind of pies they wanted for Thanksgiving this year and, of course, they both picked a different one. Spencer wanted a Pumpkin Pie and Royal wanted an Apple Pie. Okay, I went with that! Here is the Apple that I made. Hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients:

• 8 large Golden Delicious apples – peeled, cored and cut
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons corn starch
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3 tbsp cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
• 1 recipe pastry for a 10-inch double crust pie
• 2 teaspoons milk
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 pie crusts (home made or frozen)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
2. Place the cut apples into a large mixing bowl and toss with the lemon juice.
3. In a separate bowl, Stir the corn starch, 3/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together.
4. Gently toss apples in the mixture until all are coated evenly.
5. Fit one pie crust into a 10 inch pie plate. Pile half the apples into the crust and top with half of the butter pieces
6. Pile the remaining apples into the pie plate and top with remaining butter.
7. Place the second pie crust over the top of the pie. Pinch and crimp the edges to seal the crusts. Use a fork to poke holes in the top crust in a few places. You can also use a cookie cutter or a lattice if you wish.
8. Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
9. Place the pie on a baking sheet
10. Immediately lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and then put your pie in to bake.
11. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 60 minutes. Check half way through the baking time and cover the edges with aluminum foil for the last 30 minutes if necessary to prevent over-browning. When you add the foil is really up to you. When the edges are brown enough for you, then cover it.
12. Cool 3 hours on a wire rack before serving.
13. Don’t forget the vanilla Ice Cream!

I am so ashamed to say that I am so late getting this post up that it’s not even funny! the emails just kept getting buried until I forgot about it …..BUT, I still wanted you guys to have to have the opportunity to win some great McCormick stuff that I am posting it now!

Halloween is one of my absolute favorite holidays! Normally it is Christmas cookies that we are making but my nieces were in town and it was to cold to spend the day at the park so, we made cookies! I wasn’t able to get any pics of the complete project because the kids were just going nuts with frosting and sprinkles.

We used McCormick food coloring to color the frosting black, candy corn to make cat faces. My Mother-in-Law is always so happy when I bring her McCormick Black Food Coloring. It’s so hard to find around here for some reason (so she tells me) and for all of the baking she does, it’s a pain in the butt to make it. I think she is good for a few holidays now!

Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

It’s the holiday season and we find ourselves making many recipes that call for sweetened, condensed milk. If you find yourself out , don’t panic or rush out to the store… it’s no problem. Make your own!  It’s easier than one might think.

Mix 6 cups of whole milk with 4 1/2 cups of sugar, 1 stick of butter and 1 vanilla bean (or 1 tablespoon of vanilla). Cook over medium heat, reducing liquid for 1 hour. Stir occasionally and cool. It makes about 4 and 1/2 cups. You can cover and store this in the refrigerator for several weeks. You can also cut this recipe in half if you need it to use right away.
