Rain, Rain.

Dear Sister,

Here it is, Thursday. It's raining today, which is great-I can feel the pollen getting washed away, which is spectacular. Although, I broke down and picked up some new allergy meds this week and they seem to be working like a charm, so I guess the rain isn't as important as it otherwise might have been.

Did I tell you that I made my very own patio fountain? It's pretty sweet and it makes the perfect water clinkling noise. Very relaxing.

I'm looking toward this weekend with trepidation and excitement. I'm giving up my LAST Saturday to the Grad School gods. (What more can I say?)

On to your recipe for today.

I'll have to admit, there are very loose measurements for this recipe, adjust it as you need.

Crustless Apple Pie:

Ingredients
2 Tbsp butter
1 apple for each serving/person you want to make. (Tart ones work best: Empire/Braeburn)
1.5 Tbsp Brown Sugar/serving
1 Tbsp Unbleached flour
.5 tsp Baking Powder

Spray (or actual) Whipped Cream

1. Rub half of the butter on the bottom and sides of a baking dish.
2. Using your apple corer, cut up the apples into slices
3. Layer the all of the apple slices in the buttered dish (they can go on top of each other)
4. Combine the dry ingredients and remaining butter together
5. Cover the apples with the dry mixture
6. Place in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes (depending how crunchy you want it to get)
7. Remove, allow to cool (serve when it's warm, don't wait until it's stone cold)
8. Serve on plates with liberal amounts of whipped cream

I sort of made this up. It's super tasty. Enjoy!

Upcoming: Italian with fake Snausage...yum!
