07-24 Bavarian Apple Pie

When Dad and I were first married I loved this recipe because it was a little bit of cheesecake and apple pie all in one. Since it didn't require a traditional pie crust it made it even better. It's more like a sugar cookie crust. YUM!
I used a pie dish the first few times until I bought a springform pan which makes the presentation better. I was told at the time this was a Bavarian dish but I can't remember who gave me this recipe. It is our nod to your Dad's Heck family heritage.

Beat together into a dough:
1/2 c unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
1/4 t vanilla
1 c flour
Press into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9" springform pan or in a 9 inch pie dish

In separate bowl, mix together
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/4 c sugar
1/2 t vanilla
Spread this filling over pressed crust.
Top with
4 c tart apple, peeled, cored and sliced thin
Sprinkle apples with mixture of
1/2 t cinnamon
1/3 c sugar
Bake at 450 F for 10 minutes then reduce heat to 400 F and bake for 25 minutes
Let cool then serve warm/room temp. Or you can refrigerate it and serve it cold.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
