In Season: Honey Graham Hasselback Apples

Honey Graham Hasselback Apples
by Bella of Ful-filled

With apple season in full swing, now is the time to relish them. There are so many different ways to prepare apples, but have you heard of “hasselback apples”? I have ‘hasselbacked’ my fair share of potatoes—where one thinly, but only partially, slices them such that they crisp up on top and remain tender at the base—but it was not until earlier this year that I saw apples get this treatment by the editors of Cooking Light, and I was absolutely blown away. I knew I had to try it.

So while I cannot take credit for coming up with the genius idea of hasselback apples, I can say that the Honey Graham crumble was my unique twist to this trending fall recipe. I’ve always been a sucker for graham cracker crusts; and considering hasselback apples are a bit like apple pie without the crust, I figured a graham cracker topping would be awesome—and I figured right. Graham cracker crumbles will be my (unofficial) trademark in the archives of hasselback-apple history.

Give them a try…

Makings of a Thanksgiving Kids’ Table

Our kids are just getting to the age where it’s really fun to set them up at a kids’ table. In fact, sometimes they surprise us with how much better they do when we’re not right beside them—especially if there’s a fun activity to help keep their busy fingers… busy.

Makr reached out to see if I’d like to try one of their Thanksgiving table kits—they have this Kids’ Table Kit, as well as a Classic Thanksgiving and a very fun Friendsgiving Table Kit (that I might set aside for February Febgiving party)—and it sounded perfect: all the makings of a great kids’ table (with no extensive Pinterest searches for DIY table activities I’d likely waste precious cooking-time trying to set up the night before).

We had a few friends over to test it out and kick off this season of thanks. It was a big success…
