Cuisine: Dessert
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.

Fruit Galette

Coffee Jelly
While we were in Japan, I saw this sign at every Starbucks we passed. Coffee Jelly is served in the summer. You can serve it with cream, chocolate sauce, ice cream, whipped cream, or flavored coffee cream! It's actually really good. You don't have to serve coffee with dessert!

Tuscan Crostata with Mixed Berries
My daughter, Zoe, made this tart for dessert. It's very easy to put together. Make sure you use a baking sheet with an edge. We just put in new ovens and I am do not want to mess them up on the first week of having them! A crostata is an Italian baked tart and a form of pie. Similar to the French galette, a crostata is a "rustic free-form version of an open fruit tart.

Citrus Chiffon Pie
First off, I made a mistake. I was trying to speed up the chilling by submerging the bowl in an ice bath. This caused the gelatin mixture to harden to quickly, which is why you can see it isn't smooth. Did this matter? No, but it isn't pretty! The other confession is that I bought a graham cracker crust.... Other than that, it was delicious!

Glazed Grapefruit Yogurt Cake
There was a knock on the door Saturday afternoon. A man was standing there with a half a case of grapefruit and a half a case of oranges. He said our mutual friend Shannon, who lives in New York, bought them from his daughter's nursery school fundraiser and she thought I would be the perfect person to have them. He was told I was a food blogger. Yes I am and now what am I going to do with all this fruit?! Thanks Shannon for the amazing box of citrus. They are actually perfect. This is what I did to use some of it up...
