Cranberry Walnut Apple Crisp with Coffee Whipped Cream

Cranberry Walnut Apple Crisp RECIPE
(topped with Coffee Whipped Cream)

Flavor combinations are so enjoyable.  Cranberries, walnuts and apples have been combined before but top this trio with coffee whipped cream and your tastebuds will jump for joy!



Printable Recipe

2 cups fresh whole cranberries (rinsed and drained)

2 cups apples (cored, peeled and sliced)

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup oatmeal (I used old fashioned rolled oats)

1/3 cup salted butter (melted and cooled to warm)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/3 cup chopped walnuts (pecans work well also)

(a pinch of salt if you used unsalted butter above)

Begin by preparing the fruit as described above and set aside until later.

Spray or butter a square glass Pyrex baking dish.  Pour the prepared fruit in the bottom of the sprayed baking dish and spread around evenly.

In a different mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, and salt - stir until combined.  Now stir in the melted butter and you will notice the mixture to be a little clumpy (see picture above).  Finally, stir in the chopped nuts just until distributed.

Cover the fruit with the oatmeal mixture.  Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes (or until desired golden brown color is achieved) Remove from the oven and cool on a rack (see picture below).



You may eat this delicious dessert without any topping (see picture below), However.......



.........I enjoy topping it with coffee whipped cream:
(simply add 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee in the heavy whip cream when you are whipping it with an electric mixer.  Don't forget to add a little powdered sugar also)


After it has cooled, scoop out a portion, top with coffee whipped cream and 
ENJOY!

Psalm 119 - NUN (Hebrew Alphabet)

NUN - Psalm 119: 105-112

The longest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 119.  If you turn to Psalm 119 in your Bible, you will notice that there is a strange word every 8 verses.  These "strange" words are the letters of the Hebrew alphabet.  David wrote this chapter in an acrostic pattern and every letter of the alphabet is followed by 8 verses.  It is a chapter full of praise and worship.  I thought it would be fun to study Psalm 119 by summarizing each alphabetic section in an acrostic format.

I did not know anything about the Hebrew language, so I did a little research.  The Hebrew language is written from the right to the left - opposite of the English language.  There are 22 letters to the Hebrew alphabet.  Today we continue studying with the fourteenth letter
NUN.
I am also NOT a poet, so I had to research what an acrostic pattern meant.
An Acrostic Poem - is a poem where certain letters in each line spell out a word or phrase.
Example below.

NUN - No darkness - Your Word is a light Unto my path like Noonday sunshine.




In the verse above there are 2 words that are rarely used in our society:
statutes & heritage.

Statute - a law enacted by God

Heritage - property that descends to an heir.  Legacy, inheritance

When we make God's law the focus and joy of our heart, then our inheritance is eternal life in heaven!  Of course, we are saved by God's grace and mercy through Jesus Christ His Son but when we accept this free gift our natural response is a desire to follow God's laws.

You see, God's laws protect us:

When we suffer - God renews (verse 107)

When we falter  - we remember God's plan" (verse 109)

When the wicked set a trap for us - we continue on God's path instead (verse 110)

There is another word rarely used in the verse below:  decrees.

Decree - to command or direct by authoritative order



If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, then you know that when your earthly life ends - your eternal life in heaven will just be starting.  Let's keep God's decrees to the very end of our earthly life!

Cheesy Spinach Phyllo Triangles (& Other Phyllo Dough Ideas)

Cheesy Spinach Phyllo Triangles RECIPE

Working with phyllo dough is very tedious but the final product is so rewarding!  Bring your patience when making this recipe.

Previously I shared this Autumn phyllo recipe:
Phyllo Apple Log
(click HERE to view the entire post)

Diagram on how to fold the triangles

Printable Recipe

1 package cream cheese

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

1 medium onion (finely chopped)

1/4 cup chopped frozen spinach

1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

melted butter

1 package of phyllo dough (thawed in the fridge for at least 24 hours)

Begin by making the filling.  Saute the onion and spinach in a little olive oil until the onion is soft.  Set aside and allow to cool.  Place the cream cheese and parmesan cheese into a food processor and pulse until combined.  Add the cooled onion/spinach mixture and the cayenne and pulse until combined (see picture below).  

Take the phyllo dough out of the package and cut in half (I found that this filling is only enough for half a package of dough).  Place remaining half back into the fridge and use within one week.
The instructions for the phyllo dough will suggest placing a damp towel on top - I found that even lightly damp caused the dough layers to stick together, so just beware that this might happen.
I cut the half dough into 3 strips (see picture below).  Each triangle will use 4 sheets of phyllo dough.  Brush a little melted butter in between each of the 4 layers.  Place a tablespoon size of filling onto the right bottom corner and then fold upwards (see diagram at the top).  Continue folding until a triangle is formed (see stages below).

  
 


Spread a little more melted butter on top of each triangle and then sprinkle on some parmesan cheese.



Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes (or until desired golden brown color is achieved) see picture above.



Allow to cool a little (filling will be very hot).
Serve & ENJOY!!
(I even like them cold - see picture below).




Other Phyllo Dough Ideas

CRANBERRY TURNOVERS
You can make these turnovers by using leftover whole cranberry sauce (leftover from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner).




CHOCOLATE GANACHE WITH HAZELNUTS TURNOVERS
Homemade ganache is quite easy - heavy cream and chocolate chips.  Add a few hazelnuts, then freeze and use as a filling for these delicious pastries.
