I promise this isn't a cooking blog


I've got some other crafting stuff coming up, but had to share this yummy fall apple recipe! There's a fantastic pick your own fruit place here that I can't wait to visit, and I can't wait to use all of these apples in different ways. This is a great way to use up Granny Smith apples, as well as a quick dinner fix.

Ingredients:
Puff Pastry (I always have this on hand. It's amazingly delicious)
Munster Cheese
Sliced Turkey
Sliced Granny Smith Apples
Honey Mustard

Thaw the puff pastry til you can work with it. Place the first puff pastry shell on a cookie sheet. Perhaps roll out a little bit to make it a little bigger. Spread honey mustard on puff pastry, leaving at least a 1/2" around the edges.

Layer turkey, cheese, and granny smith apples.

Then cover with second puff pastry shell, and crimp edges. If you'd like, you can put an egg wash on it to make the top a bit more crusty. Cade did. And I'm glad. Bake at 400* til just a little darker than golden brown (this lets the crust bake and cheese melt).
It turns into this deliciousness. It's crispy, flaky, gooey, and awesome. You'd think the apples in it would make it sweet, and it does a little, but it's a good mix. The tartness mends well with the thickness of the munster cheese. I love these flavors!

We cut it into slices and devour. I'm ashamed that there wasn't any left.

It's like a pillow of goldeny goodness. I know this looks a bit dark, but it's great. You have to try it as one of your easy night meals! You can use this same combo with some crusty bread to make paninis (we don't have a panini press, but use our George Foreman. Yeah, we're ghetto). Apples + Turkey + Munster Cheese= Awesome!
