Yep I had a good ol potluck. No dance party or twister or cartwheel contests but lots of good home-made food and convo. My lovely guests were responsible for appetizer, a meat dish, rice/bread, and sides. I was in charge of soup & dessert.
Yeah. You wanna bring an easy homemade dessert to your next potluck? You should make some baked apples.
Here is a recipe:
Jona Gold apples
softened unsalted butter
sugar
cinnamon
nutmeg
vanilla extract
chopped pecans or nut of choice
*Pre-heat the oven
1. Core the apples with an apple corer (crucial tool)
2. Cream the butter with sugar and spices & vanilla
3. Mix in the nuts
4. Stuff the core
5. Put it in a casserole with apple juice on the bottom. Cover with foil.
6. Bake at 175 C for 30 minutes . Check & baste with the juices.
7. Bake another 20 minutes or until desired softness.
If you wanna get all fancy, you can take all the juices on the bottom add more sugar and reduce it to make a sauce.
Oh man. Everyone will love you especially if you bring vanilla ice-cream.
