Molly and I went off the experimental deep end this time, with grilled stuffed apples (sauteed onions and spicy ground pork from Simple Gifts, Empire Apples from Cold Spring Orchard). Cocoa applesauce cookies with cinnamon frosting were a hit. Next time: more sugar (or local maple syrup). Our apple cider ice cream was not as successful - the freezer unit of the ice cream maker was not cold enough, and we had a thin custard instead.
However, it turned out to be a perfect dipping sauce for Robin's delicious apple bread.
It would have been sweetness overload, but Diane saved the day with apple-gorgonzola pizza on a gluten-free crust from Hillside Pizza of Hadley. She also brought grilled chicken with apple-onion-lime salsa - so simple, so delicious.
Looking ahead to November, we're planning a gluten-free thanksgiving... with a twist... more details to come!
