Fruit & Veggie Box Week One

Your fruits and veggies look delicious. I love receiving fresh fruits and veggies. I can’t wait until we start receiving our CSA shares.

Looks delicious, Laura! That’s a perfect size box to use up too. I’m afraid to get a box because of wasting tons of hard worked yummy food.
Onion and tomatoes…get some red lentils to make some dal.
I see stew with the carrots and potatoes.
And here is a yummy dessert idea for the apples: (my daughter luvs them!)

Taffy Apple Tartlets
Bursting with caramel and apples, these miniature tarts bring out the best of the fall harvest.
¼ cup dry-roasted peanuts
2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled
¾ cup butterscotch caramel sauce (from a 17-oz jar), divided
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 pkg (15 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts), softened according to
package directions
12 caramels, unwrapped
Preheat oven to 400°F. Chop peanuts using Food Chopper; set aside for later use. Cut peeled apples lengthwise into
quarters using Utility Knife. Lay each quarter cut side down; angle knife, cut out and discard core. Coarsely chop apples
with Food Chopper. Combine apples, ½ cup of the caramel sauce and flour in Classic Batter Bowl; mix well using
Small Mix ‘N Scraper®. Microwave on HIGH 5-6 minutes or until bubbling and thickened; stir and set aside.
Meanwhile, unroll one pie crust onto lightly floured Cutting Board. Spacing closely together, cut 12 disks from crust
using outer tube of Measure-All® Cup (nine around outside edge and three in center). Press disks into wells of
Deluxe Mini-Muffin Pan using Mini-Tart Shaper, ruffling edges. Repeat with remaining crust.
Cut caramels in half using Utility Knife; place one piece into each tart shell. Spoon apple mixture evenly into tart shells;
sprinkle with peanuts. Bake 14-16 minutes or until edges of tartlets are golden brown. Remove tartlets from pan to
Stackable Cooling Rack. Drizzle with remaining ¼ cup caramel sauce. Serve warm.
Yield: 24 servings

I am the most creative when I have garden produce to use up. The produce looks gorgeous.
