Swedish Apple Pie - Truly As Easy As Pie (gluten free)

This is a pie that I've been making since I was a child, which was a long time ago.  It doesn't require any special skill or equipment.  You don't even need a rolling pin.  This is Swedish Apple Pie.

I decided to make this particular one gluten free, so, I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour.  If you don't need to be gluten free, use all purpose flour.

Mix all the dry ingredients together.

Add the chopped nuts and chopped apple.

 Mix the egg and vanilla in a small bowl.

Add the egg/vanilla mixture to the other ingredients.

Spread the mixture into a well greased pie pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly and slice.

Enjoy with whipped cream or ice cream.

Puffy Apple Omelet

Puffy Apple Omelet

Breakfast can be savory or sweet.  We all tend to think of egg dishes on the savory side.  But, sometimes, I like to offer my guests something a little out of the ordinary, like this puffy apple omelet.  I have hundreds of cookbooks and I just love going through them for ideas.  This particular recipe was in one of the Taste of Home collections and, although it is a little more effort than your traditional omelet, it is definitely worth it.  Rather than do one larger omelet, I did individual portions,  Let me know if you give it a try!

Puffy Apple Omelet

Ingredients
•3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•1/4 teaspoon baking powder
•1/8 teaspoon salt, optional
•2 eggs, separated
•3 tablespoons milk
•1 tablespoon lemon juice
•3 tablespoons sugar
•TOPPING:
•1 large tart apple, peeled and thinly sliced
•1 teaspoon sugar
•1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions
•In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt if desired. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk and lemon juice. Stir into dry ingredients and mix well; set aside.
•In another small bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon as a time, on high until stiff peaks form. Fold into yolk mixture.
