Made some cinnamon rolls. Think this was too much frosting?

Apple Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting

Think of apples, walnuts, toffee/butterscotch and fudge are having a party in your mouth. The texture of the cake is like a brownie, it’s so gooey and delicious.

The frosting here I learned derives from penuche - an old style American fudge that uses brown sugar instead of white granulated or chocolate. The term derives from Spanish panela - raw, unrefined brown cane sugar. It sets firm and cuts clean.

Apple Crumb Cake. If apples and coffee cake had a child, it would be this.

Apple Crumb Cake, utilizing Granny Smith 🍏 and Pink Lady 🍎

The fun part in all this is learning about all these different types of pantry items for cooking/baking, like Vermont Boiled Cider (ordered from @kingarthurbaking).

I would like to go check out Vermont, sounds like a happenin’ place

Also, I am team “there is never enough streusel”

Tedious, but worth it. The hardest part was the crepe flip without breaking them apart! That’s ok though you just sneak the first few into the middle stacks and nobody will ever know…

The filling is pastry cream with stiff whipped cream folded in.

I used the crepe pan from @debuyerusa that I also use for tortillas, burgers, pancakes and English muffins.

Crepe cake recipe from @seriouseats

What variation should I try next?

Maple Walnut Sourdough Scones for the Autumn Equinox.
Fall is in session (I don’t care if it’s still 98 degrees outside).

Recipe from @kingarthurbaking and calls for pecans but I didn’t have any on hand. Walnuts are an easy substitute.

I also didn’t have buttermilk - so I made my own with 1 cup of milk and the juice of 1 lemon (1 tablespoon). Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes and you’re good to go.

Great recipe and easy to put together. Pairs well with coffee or tea. Might need to make these again Friday night for the @britishbakeoff season opener

BOGO @becksprime today for National Cheeseburger Day!

@sophiefoodie went with a blue cheese while I got a mushroom Swiss. Consistently one of, if not the, best burgers in town.

One of the few spots in town still making malt shakes - so much better in my opinion. Got a jamoca (coffee flavored), which I learned is a combination of Jamaica and mocha to describe the coffee blend

September is here and so is this month’s special: Focaccia!

Here we caramelized those sweet summer onions 🧅 in olive oil, filled the dimples with roasted garlic, and add fresh thyme 🌿 and Maldon salt.

Baked in a 9x9” pizza pan to get nice crispy edges.

This will be available starting this weekend, selling for $13.

Order through our linktree!

If you have any questions, please e-mail or call!

Bread. Nuts. Za’atar Crackers (“little manoush in every bite” as one friend said).

Everyday Sandwich Loaf, inspired by the Breadlab at Washington State University. The idea is a whole wheat bread with minimal ingredients that rivals what you find at your grocery store.

-Organic stone milled whole wheat (more than 60%) and 00 flour
-Olive oil
-Light molasses, instead of honey (that way even the little ones can get a slice), plus I like the color and flavor

Now, to make best of those summer tomatoes before the season is over

Order a loaf @southamptonprovisions
