Hasselback Apples
Hasselback Apples are a great dessert for fall, which takes bake apples to a whole other level. There's just something so comforting about sweet, juicy hot baked apples with a gooey cinnamon, brown sugar topping topped with vanilla ice cream. These can be made in advance and are perfect for your fall entertaining.

Wild Mushroom Risotto
A friend of mine asked for a risotto recipe that you don't have to laboriously stir. I make this all the time. You start it on the stove top and transfer it to the oven. Risotto is a class of Italian dishes of rice cooked in broth to a creamy consistency. Many types of risotto contain Parmesan cheese, butter, and onion. It is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy. Properly cooked risotto is rich and creamy but still with some resistance or bite: al dente, and with separate grains. The traditional texture is fairly fluid. It is served on flat dishes and it should easily spread out but not have excess watery liquid around the perimeter. It must be eaten at once as it continues to cook in its own heat and can become too dry with the grains too soft.

I had this wonderful Toasted Brie & Mushroom Open Faced Sandwich at The Little Flower Candy Company in Pasadena, CA. I don't think of using lemon with mushrooms, but it really works to add a brightness to the dish.
