NMy Frugal Week
On Thursday I cut up a golden honeydew melon and watermelon for the Fourth of July. I also made more gelatin/fruit cups to have on hand as needed.
Bailey was invited to a friend’s home for the Fourth of July and wanted to bring a dish to share. I thought about it and what ingredients I had in my kitchen and decided on an apple cobbler with candied pineapple and walnuts. I also made deviled eggs, but she decided to keep those for here. 😂
On Sunday I removed the produce drawers from the refrigerator and gave them and the inside on the fridge a good scrub down with hot soapy water.
Recipe of the Week
This is a recipe I created for my daughter to take to her Fourth of July event. I had some candied pineapple from Paradise that I wanted to add to the cobbler and it really made it taste so good.
Pineapple Apple Cobbler
Ingredients:
4 ounces Paradise Candied Pineapple
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup water
1/2 up walnuts
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
Layer apples in an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan, sprinkling each layer with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Layer on the candied pineapple.
Combine flour, 1 cup sugar, egg, and baking powder with a fork.
Sprinkle over apples in the baking pan.
Lightly sprinkle water over top.
Sprinkle walnuts over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

The combination of flavors in your cobbler sound really good together.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sam. Bailey really liked it.
DeleteOh the apple cobbler sounds so good! I love anything apple. My brother used to make an apple caramel dump cake when we went camping so now I am craving appley goodness. :D
ReplyDeleteYour meals sound tasty. I have never had carrot salad before, but it does sound good. I think Sam mentioned a carrot apple salad too, so I've gotta try them.
Hope you have a great week.

Thank you , Kathy. We really like anything apple too. Your brother’s apple caramel dump cake sounds delicious! You should try the carrot raisin salad, it’s the old Chick Fil A recipe and it is so good and refreshing for a summer salad.
DeleteThanks for the recipe that sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteYou’re welcome, Kim. Thank you. 😊
DeleteAll sounds good. The cobbler sounds super yummy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl.
DeleteThe cobbler sounds excellent. Love your menus. I need to try and make a carrot salad sometime very soon.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you, Jackie. We love carrot raisin salad here.
DeleteI bet the candied pineapple really sweetened it up nicely! I want to try a taco type meal with ground meat/poultry using the "smash burger method" where you flatten the meat on a tortilla and then cook on a griddle.
ReplyDeleteI’ve seen that smash burger methodvt
DeleteI will never forgive CFA for dropping the carrot raisin salad! Grating hurts my hand.
ReplyDeleteRight? I loved that salad!
DeleteI have no idea what the candied pineapple is, but I think TheHub would love this!
ReplyDeleteIt’s sort of like dried fruit, the kind they sell in little bowls around the holidays.
