an easy way to fill the egg halves is to snip the corner off a ziplock bag, fill with the egg yolk mixture and squeeze onto the egg whites halves...i find it easier than a spoon

You can use a cookie press to make fancy swirls of the egg yolks mixture, too!

Try some different things in the egg yolk mix...I use : bleu cheese, bacon bits crumbles, old bay seasoning for a kick, and other things.

Adding the bleu cheese crumbles makes them "bleu devils"....

I have seen a lot of recipes on Pinterest for overnight oats. Has anyone ever tried making these?

This afternoon, I noticed that I had several Golden apples that needed to be used, so I made an interesting apple pie, that's baking in the oven right now. If you want to try making an apple pie, here's how I made my current dish:

Brown Sugar Apple Pie with Lemon

4-5 small to medium sized Golden apples.
1 small lemon
1 c Brown Sugar
3 tbsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Allspice
1/2 c. Flour
3-4 pats of salted butter

Pie Crust:

2 c. Flour
1/2 tsp salt
Dash of Cream of Tatar
1/2 c. Softened Coconut oil (not liquid state).
Cup of ice cold water.

Prep time: half hour or so.
Baking time: 30-40 minutes.
Oven Temp: 375*

Directions:

1) wash apples, cut into quarters, remove core from quartered sections, slice each quarter into small sizes, rinse apple cutlets off, then put them aside in a clean bowl. Cut lemon in half, then squeeze the juice from one half of the lemon over the apples.

2) In another clean mixing bowl, put your flour, salt abd Cream of Tarter, for the pie crust, into the bowl. Cut, with an fork and butter knife, the coconut oil into the flour until the flour concoction resembles little beaded marbles. Next, use tiny bits of the ice cold water and knead it into the pie dough, lightly and quickly, until you can form the dough into a ball. Divide the pie dough into 2 dough balls. Use wax paper or parchment paper to roll each dough ball.out into the shape and depth of the pie dish.

3) Place one sheet of pie dough into the pie dish. Arrange the apple cutlets into the pie crust shell. You should have enough apple cutlets that it will mound up nicely inside the pie dish.

4) In another small mixing dish, combine the half cup of flour, 1cup of Brown sugar and spices. Stir it up until it's mixed up well, together. Use almost all of it to sprinkle over the apple cutlets in the pie crust shell. Place pats of butter in alternate arrangement atop the pie. Squeeze the juice of the other lemon across the floured, sugared, spiced mixture.

5) Place other rolled out pie dough ball over the top of the pie. Seal the edges of the pie crusts by squeezing them together, as you tuck the crusts into the pie shell.as you move circular around the pie dish. Use the tiny left over portion of floured, sugared, spiced mixture to sprinkle across the top of the finished pie.

6) Place pie in oven which is preheated to 375*. Bake for nearly 30-40 minutes. Check frequently after the 30 minute mark to make sure the crust is browning nicely, but also to make sure you don't burn the crust. Once the crust is nicely browned, turn the oven off. Remove pie from oven and let the pie cool... for about 20 minutes.

7) Enjoy.

I love and adore apple pie but I am a failure at pie crust. I always do something wrong and it is usually like shoe leather

My youngest daughter makes the lightest, flakiest crust. *Sigh*

Now I can't eat the carbs anyway so maybe it is for the best!

Your pie sounds awesome Kätzchen!!

Oh! I totally know what you mean about pie crust that is over worked to the point that it's like tough shoe leather or worse, similar to...ummmm.... concrete.

So glad you brought that up Anya because I realism now that I left out an important fact about making pie crust. While it's true that you need to work with the dough in light, quick strokes to form a dough ball....it's important too, though not over work the dough or try to form ball into a compact ball. It's important to Remember to lightly form and shape the ball....and to roll out the dough with the sane care: short quick strokes, not too much pressure, etc.

Also.... I double sift my flour. Presided flour is not enough. It needs to be sifted at least twice. It makes the flour easier to work with, increases the way it will rapidly accept the coconut oil and water.

Thanks for the compliment, Anya!

I am sorry to hear that you have to be careful with carbohydrates..... I think the way our bodies metabolize foods is a mystery to me. Hopefully you can indulge in chocolate. It's not a carb, right???

So I gave it a shot and made the over night oats! I googled it and it said u didn't have to use a glass jar, that plastic was fine. Someone suggested an empty peanut butter jar and since I planned on putting pb and bananas in mine, that's what I used. Well...... they came out so-so. I don't know if I really care for them? I will try again with the glass mason jar and maybe regular milk? I used soymilk.
