Hello Recipe Club,

It's Friday again! I hope you had a great week. Thanks to those of you who sent in recipes for this week about apples. Next week we will have the pleasure of meeting Terri Pischoff Wuerthner, CCP. She was honored with the worlds first Culinary Fellowship from The Writers' Colony at Dairy Hollow in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. We'll tell you more about that on Monday. The theme of her week will be "Celebration of Autumn Foods", with tips and recipes. It's going to be a very informative week with superb recipes. Tune in!

Have a wonderful weekend, you earned it!

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

>From Soupbase.com...
Minor's bases make the most flavorful soups & stocks in minutes because Minor's are "meat-first" bases, meaning the first ingredient is the name of the base - chicken, beef, ham, clam, and more. Culinary professionals have been using Minor's since 1951.
Visit Soupbase.com to find out more about bases, sauce preps, gravies and flavor concentrates - the ones the chefs use in their
own restaurants. If they weren't the best, chefs wouldn't use them - it's that simple - now you can too!
Use a Minor's recipe or ask us how to convert your own recipe to one using Minor's - you won't believe the difference.

Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups unbleached flour
1/4 tsp. salt
2/3 cup vegetable shortening
6 oz cheddar; sharp, shredded
water
3/4 cup brown sugar; firmly packed
1 tsp. cinnamon; ground
6 ea. apples; pared and cored
1/4 cup butter

Instructions:

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the flour and salt, mixing well, then cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sir in the cheese and sprinkle with water while mixing lightly with a fork, (From 6 to 8 Tbs of water may be required), continue mixing until dough makes a ball. Divide the dough into three equal portions and roll each portion, on a lightly flour surface, into a 14 X 7-inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle into 2 7-inch squares.

Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon, then fill the centers of the apples topping each apple with butter. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture over the pastry. Place an apple in each square and fold the corners to the center, pinching the dough at the top of the apple to seal. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.

Top with whipped cream.
