<p>Super easy! If you want to give your family a quick special treat, this is it. Serve these as a simple side, or on ice cream for dessert. </p>
<p>Serves 5 people (or less hahaha)</p>
<p>4 large apples - we left the skins on<br />1 stick of butter<br />1/2 c. of brown or white sugar<br />1 TBSP cinnamon</p>
<p>Slice the apples 1/4" or cube them into 1" chunks. We used a cast iron skillet. Melt the butter, add the apples and sugar and bring to a boil. Then bring to a simmer until the apples are soft and add the cinnamon. Serve them up hot. Enjoy!</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This apple spice cake is easy to make and comes out soft and spicy! Our spice cake recipe seemed too dense, and Jessica recreated a perfect recipe. This is great for breakfast, dessert, or a nice tea party! Don't skip the frosting. </p>
<p style="text-align: center">Makes one 9" x 13" Pan | Oven 350 Degrees</p>
<p>Spray the cake pan and set it aside.</p>
<p><strong>Apple Spice Cake</strong></p>
<p>2 c. diced apples</p>
<p>1/2 c. butter, melted</p>
<p>1/2 c. vegetable oil</p>
<p>3 large eggs</p>
<p>2 tsp. pure vanilla</p>
<p>1 1/2 c. brown sugar</p>
<p>1 c. unsweetened applesauce</p>
<p>2 1/2 c. unbleached white flour</p>
<p>1 tsp. baking soda and 1 TBSP sour cream, mixed</p>
<p>2 tsp. baking powder</p>
<p>1 tsp. sea salt</p>
<p>2 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon</p>
<p>1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg</p>
<p>Mix dry ingredients and set aside. Cream butter, oil, and sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, and applesauce. Jog in the dry ingredients. Stir in the diced apples. Pour into your prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. </p>
<p><strong>Sour Cream Frosting</strong></p>
<p>1/2 c. butter, softened</p>
<p>2 1/2 c. powdered sugar</p>
<p>1/4 c. sour cream</p>
<p>pinch of sea salt</p>
<p>2 tsp. of vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp. almond extract</p>
<p>Beat for 4-5 minutes. Spread on the cooled cake. OH BOY. It was even better for breakfast the next day. It is soft with a perfect hint of spice. </p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here's a butter pie crust recipe, using a food processor. It calls for grating a few tablespoons of the butter and freezing. Makes two 9" pie crusts.</p>
<p>20 Tbsp. unsalted butter</p>
<p>2 1/2 c. flour</p>
<p>1 tsp. salt</p>
<p>2 Tbsp. sugar</p>
<p>1/2 c. ice water</p>
<p>Grate 4 tbsp. of butter and place in the freezer. Cube the remaining 16 Tbsp. of butter. In a food processor, pulse together 1-1/2 c. flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cubed butter and pulse for about 40 seconds until it starts to come together slightly.</p>
<p>Use a spatula and break up the mix a little. Now add the grated butter and the remaining 1 c flour, and coat the butter with the flour using a spatula. Don't play with it much. Now sprinkle in 1/4 c. water and pulse for about 5 seconds. Sprinkle in the remaining water and pulse just until mixed.</p>
<p>Dump out onto plastic wrap and using the wrap, pull the dough into a ball. Divide evenly into two balls and press each into a disc. </p>
<p>Refrigerate 2 hours, or up to 2 days. You can freeze the wrapped discs for a month. </p>
