TWD/BWD: Maple Walnut Pie

 


For the second November baking challenge, I prepared the Maple Walnut Pie from Baking with Dorie by Dorie Greenspan.

This is a delicious alternative to the traditional pecan pie, served around this time of year.  Except for the walnuts, this is nearly identical to my go-to pecan pie in which I also use maple syrup along with a bit of rum or bourbon.

The crust was prepared a day in advance, so it was well chilled.  The one-bowl filling is quickly mixed together, then poured into the par-baked crust.  While it can be served with whipped cream or ice cream on the side, I didn't want to wait for the extras, and it was good on its own.


 

Stop by the Tuesdays with Dorie website to see which dessert the other bakers chose this time.

TWD/BWD: Tarte Tatin

 

 


Since I seem to have a never-ending supply of apples, I was happy to have the opportunity to bake this tarte tatin.  It's been quite awhile since I had made one, and Dorie's instructions are great. For this tarte, I used the galette dough for the crust and a variety of apples.

 It's just a lovely and delicious dessert, and would be great for sharing with guests.
