We like baked apples too, but since the stewed ones only take 10-15 minutes, and we tend to cook after we get hungry and don't want to wait an hour or two, we more often stew them.I like Galas, and also Pink Lady or Red Delicious for eating. McIntosh was always our "go to" baking apple for pies or puddiings. Tart, but with more flavour than Granny Smith. But I don't often see them any more.
A really easy apple dessert is baked apples, core your apples and set in a baking dish. Mix about a tablespoon of brown sugar, and a 1/4 tsp of cinnamon for each apple in your dish, and a few raisins, if you're inclined. Fill the centres of the apples with the cinnamon sugar mixture, and a couple of tablespoons of water, and bake in a 350 oven for an hour. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving with cream, whipped cream, or ice cream.
Or simply top with the syrup which forms at the bottom of the baking dish.
This is a great recipe to make with my grandchildren when we come back from the apple farm, and one of the first things I learned to make when I was little, that I still enjoy.
I made my third loaf of basic white bread about 4 days ago. Came out even better than the first two even though it's still more dense than the store bought variety. It's really good toasted and I just made a grilled cheese with it, much better tasting than the store bought stuff. Think I'll try the oat bread recipe when this one's gone as oat bread is my favorite and what I primarily bought this for. The oat bread I buy at the grocery store is $4.50 a loaf..........
Brick Gold one of the hard fast principles of the Coffee Shop is no politics please. There are just too few people on both sides who are able to discuss politics or religious theology or any such controversial topics without it becoming toxic so we just keep it out of here altogether. Thanks for understanding.Hey, look at what Uncle Sam stuck to my forehead

I regularly make a LOT of bread. Lately Sourdough...It takes all day to rise but it's really good.I made my third loaf of basic white bread about 4 days ago.

Not something I'll be doing anytime soon but thanks for the tip.I regularly make a LOT of bread. Lately Sourdough...It takes all day to rise but it's really good.
The general type you want is oatmeal Pullman loaves. It requires a specific pan with a lid but....it's really soft.
Pullman loaves are still denser than store bought loaves but immensely better tasting and no preservatives.
Just be sure to let it completely cool before slicing it or putting it in a bag and don't let it cool inside the pan either.
The McIntosh didn't hold up as well for me in pies as my favorite pie apple which is the Fujis. McIntosh was great in smoothies though, but like you, I haven't seen any for sale in ages. Fujis are great in fruit salads too and because they're so large, they make great baked apples.I like Galas, and also Pink Lady or Red Delicious for eating.

A shock diagnosis of breast cancer, yesterday morning. The mammogram didn’t pick it up, but an ultrasound and biopsy did.
I feel so well, never thought it would happen to me. Am travelling to the US next week, and will start some form of treatment early next year, in Germany.
