Apple Ginger Oat Cookies

2019-08-13T19:18:42+00:00

Cookies for breakfast! Nothing beats these chewy, oat-filled apple cookies first thing in the morning. They’ll also readily find their place in a lunchbox or a picnic basket. We loved how the Granny Smith apple added moisture and just the right touch of acidity to the cookies. You can of course substitute them for your favorite variety of apple. Crystalized ginger gives these oaty devils a kick but can be omitted to make them more kid-friendly. This recipe can be adapted to suit vegan or other dairy-free diets. Refer to the notes at the end of the recipe for specific instructions. [...]

SugarBee® Apple Upside Down Cake

2019-01-15T20:13:02+00:00

It’s been cold out here in Chelan and we were in the mood for a slice of coffee cake to accompany our steaming cups of hot tea. Combine that with the SugarBee® apples we had around the office, and voila: our beautiful European-style apple upside down cake was born! SugarBee® apples are great for baking. Their crisp and firm texture holds up well when cooked, and their touch of acidy will balance the sweetness of any baked good.
