Butter Tart Muffins

Butter Tart Muffins

  Since I make muffins on a regular basis, I’m usually on the lookout for a good muffin recipe.  I’ve got tons of baking books, so I know I’ve got many muffin recipes, but sometimes I don’t feel like looking through all of my books to find a new recipe for my weekend breakfast staple. […]

Baked Calvados Caramel Apples

Forgive me if you’re a stranger to Calvados.  Most people to whom I introduce this apple-based brandy from the French region of Lower Normandy are unfamiliar with it.  It’s made with cider, and aged in oak casks before being bottled, and its maturation period varies.  The longer it ages, the more it resembles a fine […]
