Thank you for your support. A few days ago I shared a recipe with you that used dried apples, not reconstituted. It was a fabulous recipe for Dried Apple Oatmeal Cookies. I mentioned in that post that sometimes you reconstitute apples to use them when baking and sometimes you don't have to. A few people have asked me about how to reconstitute them, so I thought I would share the simple process with you, plus give you a recipe for Apple Crisp using dried apples as well. (I think I also mentioned that in the cookie post.)

I've been very blessed this season with free peaches from a few different sources! I've already canned some and juiced some. But, you can't get nice fresh peaches without making cobbler! There are many types of cobbler. A popular recipe with campers is the cake mix style recipe. (Lindsey's fav), and I blogged about a blueberry version here. There is the biscuit topped style and there is the cake-like style such as Essie's Cobbler that I gave you the recipe for here. I was having a conversation with someone lately about what kind of cobbler we love. She mentioned that her mother used to make cobbler with a pie crust type topping. That is also the type of cobbler that I remember the most from my childhood. Although I have various varieties of cobbler recipes, funny enough I do not have the recipe that I remember the most! I figured that it had to be pretty straight forward, because a pie crust topped cobbler seems synonymous with what people call a slab pie today, except there is no bottom crust!

Whenever I watch any baking shows on television, it always happens, I see them make something that I just have to try! So, when Anita brought me some beautiful blueberries, I knew that I wanted to make a French recipe called Clafoutis!
A clafoutis is actually a type of custard that is baked with any fruit added that you can imagine. It reminds be of what we all a Dutch Puff Pancake, or a type of souffle, because it puffs up in the oven and is gorgeous, (but then it falls, lol). When we do a Dutch pancake, we add the fruit toppings after it comes out of the oven, but the fruit is baked right in a clafoutis.
This recipe is surprisingly quick and easy to mix up! There will be lots of ooos and aahhs when it comes out of the oven.
I added sugared blueberries and tiny strawberries to decorate the top.
This recipe is definitely a great way to enjoy summer berries.
One thing I did to enhance the blueberries was to use a couple of drops of lemon essential oil in the batter of the custard. Also to make the sugared berries, I rolled them in lemon juice and then in granulated sugar. Those touches of lemon worked so well to brighten up the flavors of the clafoutis! I purchase my oils fromDoTerra. I trust their oils to be pure enough to use in my recipes. Here is the super simple recipe! You can substitute any fruit instead of blueberries. On the Summer Bake-Off that I was watching, someone made it using mangoes and someone else used marinated cherries. So, give it a try and tell me how you liked it! Just click the recipe and you will get a printable pdf file.

I love banana bread, but sometimes the baking time is a deterrent to making it. We have finally hit the triple digits in Phoenix a time or two, so I don't really want my oven on for that long. But, I had 3 very ripe bananas that I wanted to use up, plus I needed to take treat to a church activity. So, I came up with these Salted Caramel Banana Blondies!
There are a couple of secret ingredients that make these blondies so tasty:
Another great thing about this recipe is that it makes a big batch when you bake them in your half sheet pan. If you bake them in something smaller, add about 10 minutes to your bake time. I had plenty to take to the activity, plus leave some to enjoy at home!
