FABBY: Apples for Two

Hello sweet friends!

        I just got back from our very long weekend at our daughter's house for grand Victoria's First Communion, which was last Saturday the 21 of Sept., 2013. Everything turned out fabulous and our young Victoria was extremely happy!

I will be posting about the First Communion after this post with the 'Apple Theme,' which I had ready for "Kathleen's new challenge, for Let's Dish at Cuisine Kathleen." I did a small table for the two of us with everything APPLE...right in our kitchen nook. I hope you like it!  Here goes...

My contribution to the challenge for 'Let's Dish at Cuisine Kathleen with the 'Apple Theme' has been by using green apples, green plates and green goblets. The table topper has some apples as well, although not green as I tried to incorporate specially the Green color in this tablescape. 

The dishes in green were all made back at our past Factory, including the Apple-green ones.

The tablecloth has a Fall look to it and some red apples in the print as well.

Rattan charger, white dinner plate, green and white entree plate.

Apple napkins on top of apple-green salad plates.

The bowl at your right, standing on leaves is for the soup.

I liked this tablecloth I had for the kitchen table, as it has a Fall look to the print, what with leaves, pumpkins and apples.

Late afternoon colors and I have lighted the stained glass sky light, here in the kitchen.

I love how the sky has streaks in blue shades and even a pink one; as it's 6:30 pm as I finished this tablescape before I went to my Victoria's First Communion.

Now, the following day I grabbed two apples and made this delicious 'Apple Pancake' Alejandro loves and for our lunch dessert...as I've mentioned before that we have a heavier lunch and a lighter dinner.

The Apple Pancake recipe follows:

       

Makes servings USMetricAdjust Recipe (Help)

• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•  
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 large tart apple - peeled, cored and sliced

       

Directions

1. In a large bowl, blend eggs, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Gradually mix in milk, stirring constantly. Add vanilla, melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Let batter stand for 30 minutes or overnight. (When I'm doing a dinner party I let it stand so it's ready from the day before, otherwise I don't)
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
3. Melt butter in a 10 inch oven proof skillet, (I use a cast-iron skillet) brushing butter up on the sides of the pan. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Sprinkle mixture over the butter. Line the pan with apple slices. (I use 2 small apples instead of just one).  Sprinkle remaining sugar over apples. Place pan over medium-high heat until the mixture bubbles, then gently pour the batter mixture over the apples.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake for 10 minutes. Slide pancake onto serving platter and cut into wedges.

PS: This is great with vanilla ice cream too, on a hot day, or always, lol!

Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind visits, as you always make my day! I will also be a little late answering your precious comments from the before post, but, be sure I'll get to the last one!

Thank you gracious hostesses for having me at your great parties each week.


LOVE,
FABBY
