My lovely friends Janine & Thomas came for a visit over Thanksgiving weekend and brought a pile of these tasty McIntosh apples from their family orchard in Kelowna.
After arranging this beautiful bounty in a large bowl and admiring it on my counter for a few days – what colour!! – I decided I wanted to try a couple of new recipes, so I tested out a recipe for apple kuchen that I had had my eye on.
Of course, seeing as I can never seem to follow instructions properly, I modified the recipe. It went something like this:
What did the test tasters have to say? YUM! Michael promptly renamed it Apple Pizza and warmed it up as breakfast for a number of days in a row. Jimka was, supposedly, lucky enough to be working nearby and certainly didn’t turn down a piece or two. Re-warming created a sugary crust that was the foundation for the name change.
Personally it was kind of ho-hum for me, kind of bread-y and not enough chocolate for my taste… but that was to be expected.
