Apple Crisp with Oatmeal Cookie Crumble

This dessert is as easy as apple pie…or crisp! You assemble your crumble ingredients, then slice your apples in a neat or rustic look, your choice entirely. Bake in the oven and soon a delicious cinnamon scent takes over your senses. Highly recommend this dessert for a family bbq, served with, you guessed it, vanilla ice cream.

Variation: You can swap the apples for pears and add walnuts or pecans to the crumble.

  • Shakshuka, or eggs poached in a spicy tomato and pepper sauce, has become a mainstream dish, thanks in large part to Israeli chefs such as @ottolenghi and @mikesolomonov Solomonov, who’ve put it on the culinary map. There are of course many possible variations such as adding lamb or beef to the sauce to make it a complete meal, but this simple method, topped with some crumbled feta, is just comfort food at its best. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS 3 tbsp vegetable oil 1 large yellow onion minced 1 large green bell pepper seeded and finely chopped 1/2 Jalapeno chile pepper cored, seeded and finely chopped 5 medium sized garlic cloves minced 1/4 cup tomato paste 1 28 oz can whole peeled tomatoes 2 1/2 tbsp sugar 1 tsp fine sea salt 1 tbsp paprika 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp black pepper 1 sprig of parsley for garnish 4 large eggs 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled 2 tbsp parsley, minced 1 tsp Maldon smoked sea salt INSTRUCTIONS Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onions and saute over meidum heat, until translucent, 5-10 minutes. Add the bell pepper, and jalapeno and saute for another 3-5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste as well as the garlic and allow to cook for another 2 minutes, making sure the garlic does not brown. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the sugar, salt, pepper, paprika and cumin. Let the mixture simmer at medium-low heat for about 30 minutes or so, stirring every 5 minutes, until the tomato mixture has thickened and there is little liquid left in the pan. Using a large spoon, make little 4 dips in the sauce. Carefully crack the eggs, making sure the yolk stays intact, and place each one in the little dip. Cover with a lid, and allow the eggs to set for 5-10 minutes, until the egg whites have become opaque and the yolk are still runny. Remove the skillet from the heat, allow to rest for a few minutes, and serve, garnished with the feta cheese and minced parsley. Top with Maldon smoked sea salt.

  • A delicious, moist vanilla cake that melts in your mouth! The perfect afternoon snack. Replace Oreos with your cookie of choice or omit it all together. It will still be awesome! INGREDIENTS 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 3 large eggs 1 1/4 cups sugar plus two tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 3/4 cup vegetable oil 3/4 cup milk (or soy / almond milk) 3/4 cup crushed Oreo cookies INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 inch springform pan with vegetable oil. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking and salt with a whisk. Using a stand mixer, mix the eggs with the sugar at high speed for about 3 minutes or until pale yellow and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium and add the vanilla, followed by the vegetable oil in a slow pour, until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and add half the flour mixture. Scrape down sides as needed. Add half the milk to the batter and mix. Repeat with remaining halves of flour and milk. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and gently blend the Oreo cookies into the batter with a spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar on top. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place pan on a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes before removing the side of the pan. Allow cake to cool for about 1 hour before serving.
