        Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies

       Oh, my gosh I have to say ,I made these brownies months ago with another GF flour blend, and I had a brownie VOLCANO, it was a nightmare!  My stove was covered in brownie, and burned yet once again; however, the brownie that was left in the pan TASTED FANTASTIC, and my daughter has been after me to make them ever since!  This time was a success, and the brownies made it one day, and were eaten up.  I am sorry I didn't get this up earlier this weekend, but if was my in-laws 50th Wedding Anniversary.   Happy 50th once again Bob and Jody , we love you!

Ingredients-

This recipe originated from Sweet Pea's Kitchen

-1/2 cup butter

-2 oz dark chocolate coarsely chopped 

-1 cup sugar

-2 large eggs

-1 tsp pure vanilla extract

-1 1/2 tsp red food coloring( I use food gels)

-3/4 cup Pamela's Bread flour

-1 tsp baking soda

Cheesecake mix-

-8 oz cream cheese room temperature

-1/3 cup sugar

-1 large egg

-1/2 tsp vanilla

 

 Directions- preheat oven to 350 degrees, bake 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, of brownie, and the cheesecake was no longer giggly.  Use an 8x8 glass baking dish, either line it with parchment or spray it with PAM, ( I used the Pam and had no problems)

1- In a small heat proof bowl heat chocolate and butter, melt and stir until smooth, then set aside and let it cool for a few minutes while you do step number 2

2-In a large bowl or mixer, mix together sugar, eggs,vanilla and red food gel or coloring.

3- Add the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth, then add flour and baking soda.  Only stir until the mixture is combined and no longer showing any white.

4- Pour it unto the pan, and spread it evenly.

5-Prepare the cheesecake layer by adding the cream cheese, egg and vanilla, and sugar into a med bowl and beat together until they are all creamed together.  Drop the cream cheese mix, into 8 dollops, and then use a knife and make a design back and forth through them.  ( mine was not as beautiful as the original, but tasted great!)

Gluten Free Apple Crumb Cake

                        Apple Crumb Cake

       I have to start out by saying, I HATE anything that has cooked fruit in it.  I don't eat pies, crumbles, cobblers or tarts, pretty much anything that has a piece of fruit in it, and has been in the oven!  I know, for all of you pie lovers out there, this is Horrible; my husband and daughter totally agree.  In the 18 years I have been married, I have made my poor husband 1 apple dessert( I am a bad wife). 
     So now that apple season is upon us, I promised him I would make at least one.  I however, made the mistake of letting him choose, so next I have to make a pie, oh my, the crust.  I have made pies in the past, my Grandma Huntsman taught me how, but that was before I was GF, so I am NERVOUS that it won't taste fantastic,(really that it will taste like crap, and I will have wasted time and expensive flour) but I am going to try.  This recipe originally came from, Emeril Lagasse.  My daughter told me, that since I baked this cake I had to try it; I didn't want to, but it looked and smelled delicious!!  OK, so I tried it, and it was FANTASTIC, if I have to eat something apple, I will eat this. Natalie :)

Ingredients:

The crumb topping is so good!

-1/2 cup butter

-1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar( I used dark, therefor the cake is darker)

-2 large eggs

-2 cups Pamela's Bread flour

-2 tsp baking soda

-1 tsp cinnamon

- 1 cup plain yogurt(you could use sour cream)

-1 tsp pure vanilla extract

-2 cups peeled, cored and chopped apples( I used Golden Delicious, they are the new crop)

 

Crumb topping:

-1/2 cup packed brown sugar

- 1/2 cup Pamela's Bread flour mix

-1/2 tsp cinnamon

-4 TB butter semi-soft 

 

Brown Sugar Glaze:

-1/2 cup brown sugar packed

-1/2 tsp vanilla

-2TB water

     Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and spray  a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.  Bake for 48-50 min or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Then cool on a wire rack for 15-20 min, then put on the brown sugar glaze.

       In a large bowl or mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar until they are fluffy.  Then add the eggs one at a time and mix them in completely, make sure and scrape down the sides.  Next add in the dry ingredients, and mix well.  Then add either the yogurt or sour cream, whichever you use and the vanilla. Combine them and then add the apples, mix on low.  Pour into the baking dish, and spread to the edges, it is thick.

     To make the Crumble add the brown sugar, flour mix, cinnamon, and butter.  Stir with a fork and smash it together until it looks like crumbs, then it is ready. 

      To make the glaze put the brown sugar, vanilla and water into a bowl and stir for about 2 min, then drizzle over the cake and serve.  You serve this cake either warm or room temp, and even better with a scoop of ice cream!
