P-Nutty Apple Crunch, 1970 – A Mid-Century <b>Recipe</b> Test

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 02:34 AM PST

Most of you know by now that I have a weakness for weird ingredients in desserts. Tomato soup? Bring it on. Sauerkraut? Hello. Pork fat? Done it. Pinto beans? Please.

But this week I picked something a little unusual. The mystery ingredient this week is peanut butter, which isn't a strange ingredient in the world of desserts at all.

Unless you are making apple crisp.

This is P-Nutty Apple Crunch, from a promotional recipe from Peter Pan Peanut Butter. This specific recipe is from an advertisement from 1970, but I've seen incarnations of this recipe as far back as the 1930's in magazines and pamphlets.

P-Nutty Apple Crunch

Author: 

  • ¼ cup Peter Pan Peanut Butter, smooth or crunchy
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup AP flour
  • ¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 6-8 medium-sized apples
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 3 T water
  1. With pastry blender or two knives, cut peanut butter and butter into combined oats, flour, sugar and salt.
  2. Peel, core and slice apples into buttered shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice and water.
  3. Spoon peanut butter mixture over apples, and bake in moderate oven, 375 degrees, for about 40 minutes, until apples are tender. Serve hot or cold with cream, whipped cream or softened ice cream.

I have to admit I was very intrigued by this. While not a usual ingredient in apple crisp, apples and peanut butter do go together awfully well. I was VERY interested to see if their affinity for each other translated to the world of crisp as well.

So, here's the deal: I actually LIKE some skins on my apples when I am making apple crisp. Weird, huh? I usually pick out some of the more thin-skinned apples to leave unpeeled and just chop them up. Bonus: It takes less time for the crisp to get into my mouth that way!

So, this recipe is also unusual because there is NO extra sugar added to the apples on the bottom. I normally toss mine with a bit of sugar, cinnamon and flour, but these went in naked!

And came out smelling amazing! Seriously, the smell of this thing was killing me! It was so hard to wait for dinner.

"So, what do we have this week?"

"A surprise."

"Oh. Great. I love surprises. It's cheese, isn't it?"

"Actually, not this time."

"Olives."

"Nope."

"Huh. So what is it?"

"You are just going to have to taste it!"

"I hate it when you say that."

"What the heck is in here?"

"Peanut Butter."

"Oh, god. That's what it is, isn't it?"

"Is it horrible?"

"Actually…no. It's really good. But it needs ice cream."

The Verdict: Delicious, but needs ice cream

From The Tasting Notes:

Very unusual taste, very peanut-y, but not bad at all. Unexpected, but good. Topping was actually really, really, good. It was almost too strong for the apples, and would have overpowered them if we wouldn't have left the skins on the some of the apples. A bite tasted almost like a caramel apple with peanuts on it. And a bite of the topping by itself tastes like the most crazy-amazing peanut butter cookie ever. We covered this with scoops of pumpkin spice ice cream and caramel sauce and pretty much went straight to heaven. It was the ultimate fall sundae!

Greek Yogurt Biscuits | Biscuit <b>Recipe</b> | Two Peas & Their Pod

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 12:00 AM PST

Greek Yogurt Biscuits

by Two Peas on November 13, 2013

Greek Yogurt Biscuits-fluffy and tender biscuits that are made with Greek yogurt! 

Greek Yogurt Biscuits Recipe on twopeasandtheirpod.com Fluffy and tender biscuits made with Greek Yogurt!

Do you want to know what I loving right now? Biscuits. That's right, biscuits. Josh made homemade Greek Yogurt Biscuits the other day and I am in love. I can't stop thinking about them. We've made a lot of biscuits in our lifetime and they are all winners, but these Greek Yogurt Biscuits are perfection. Trust me, I know, I ate two of them. I had to make sure they were perfect.

You need to make these biscuits…like right now.

photo-(3)

Josh told me he wanted to make biscuits and he looked like he knew what he was doing so I got out of the way. I didn't go too far though because I wanted to be around when he pulled them out of the oven:)

Greek-Yogurt-Biscuits-8

Josh used Gold Medal All-Purpose Organic Flour. The flour is certified organic, unbleached, enriched and pre-sifted. It is the perfect flour for the perfect biscuit recipe! We love this flour!

Greek-Yogurt-Biscuits-1

Josh used plain Greek yogurt instead of the traditional buttermilk to make the biscuits. We didn't have any buttermilk, but our fridge was stocked with Greek yogurt, so Josh gave it a try! Best decision ever! The Greek yogurt created a tender and flaky biscuit!

Greek-Yogurt-Biscuits-7

The biscuits puffed up nicely in the oven! Look at that height! I couldn't wait to tear into a biscuit!

Greek-Yogurt-Biscuits-3

Josh got out the butter and honey and we went to biscuit town!

Greek-Yogurt-Biscuits-4

A hot flaky biscuit, right out of the oven, slathered with butter and drizzled with honey…is there anything better in life? I don't think so!

Josh and Caleb enjoyed their biscuits with Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Soup, but I just ate biscuits for dinner. I didn't need anything else. I was in biscuit heaven!

Greek Yogurt Biscuits-make them happen and make them happen soon! I am requesting them for dinner this week! They go great with any meal…or if you want them to be your meal, I'm ok with that!

And if you are looking for another side dish for your Thanksgiving feast, invite Greek Yogurt Biscuits to your table. You won't be disappointed!

Greek-Yogurt-Biscuits-6

Greek Yogurt Biscuits

Yield: 8 large biscuits

Total Time: 25 minutes

Tender, flaky, and buttery biscuits that are made with a secret ingredient-Greek yogurt! These are our favorite biscuits!

1 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup cold plain Greek yogurt (we use Chobani)
1 large egg, beaten
3 tablespoons cold water
1 large egg, beaten, for brushing on biscuits

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter, using your fingers or a pastry cutter. Work the dough until mixture resembles a coarse meal.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, and water. Add liquid ingredients to flour mixture, stirring until dough barely comes together. Dump the mixture on lightly floured counter and knead until the dough comes together. Don't overwork the dough.

4. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or cut into 2×2-inch squares. Combine dough scraps and roll out again to make remaining biscuits.

Or, <b>Recipe</b>: Pork (or Beef) & Butternut Squash Stew in Red Wine

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 11:25 PM PST

Good Evening:

IF 1) you have 2.5 pounds of boneless pork shoulder left over from another recipe, AND 2) you bought one more butternut squash at the farmers market than you needed, AND 3) you have 1.5 cups of cheap but decent red wine remaining in your kitchen, THEN–what do you do?

Last night, I improvised. Without bragging, the results tasted great, one of my best ever spur-of-the-moment dishes, so I want to share the improvisation with you. You may substitute beef or lamb for the pork.

Pork & Butternut Squash Stew in Red Wine

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon each of salt, black pepper, powdered garlic, cinnamon, rubbed sage, nutmeg, and marjoram
  • 2-3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, beef or lamb
  • 1-2 cups flour
  • Canola oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion or shallots
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh garlic
  • 1.5 cups red wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth, bouillon or stock
  • 1 butternut squash, 2-3 pounds, peeled, seeded, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons yellow prepared mustard

Cooking

  1. Mix together all of the spices except the paprika.
  2. Remove the meat from the refrigerator, cut into 1 inch chunks, toss with 1/3 of the spice blend in a bowl. Let the meat come to room temperature.
  3. Place 1/3 of the spice blend and the flour into a leak-free plastic bag. Close securely and then shake until all is well blended.
  4. Place the cubed meat into the bag (in batches if needed), close securely and then shake until the meat is thoroughly coated.
  5. Heat the oil over medium high heat.
  6. Use a 12 quart pot with a thick bottom, a cast iron pot, or a Dutch Oven. Brown the meat on all sides in batches. DO NOT brown too much meat at one time; not only must the meat fit in a single layer, there must be space between the cubes. If needed, add a tablespoon of oil between batches. Do not worry about the brown crust (the fond) that will form at the bottom of the pot unless it gets too dark, in which case turn down the heat.
  7. Remove all of the meat and set aside. Saute the onions for about 5 minutes until they turn translucent, stirring often.
  8. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, or until fragrant.
  9. Pour in the red wine and chicken broth, stirring and scraping up the fond and other brown bits on the bottom of the pot. The fond will dissolve into the liquid, thickening it.
  10. Return the meat to the pot, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 60 minutes, stirring often.
  11. After 60 minutes, remove the lid, add the butternut squash and the remaining 1/3 of the spice blend, stir thoroughly, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 60-90 minutes, stirring often. Butternut squash cooks very slowly in a braise, so be patient. The stew will be ready to eat when you can easily cut a cube of the squash in half, encountering no resistance.
  12. Optional: Stir in the smoked paprika and/or the mustard at the very end, then turn off the heat. Yesterday I used the paprika and decided to skip the mustard, and felt very happy with the results.

Serve in bowls. I chose to spoon the stew over elbow macaroni.

The dish has only two colors–orange and brown–so I recommend as side dishes blanched and sauteed string beans, along with a salad of butter lettuce with sliced radishes, grated carrots and grated red cabbage. Beer or any full-bodied red wine will serve well as beverages.

Ideas for future experiments:

  • Add 1 tablespoon allspice, fennel seed or ground anise to the spice blend.
  • Add 1 pound fresh or frozen peas during the last ten minutes.
  • If using lamb, substitute 2 tablespoons powdered rosemary for the sage and marjoram.

And always–have fun. If it appears that I might have left out a step or two, please let me know, as writing recipes is surprisingly hard work.
