Baked Biscuit Wreath Dip & Apple Pie

For Thanksgiving I wanted to make an appetizer and came across this yummy dip from Delish – You can find the recipe here >> http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a45181/baked-biscuit-wreath-dip-recipe/

 

It was  flavorful & cheesy. The biscuits were cooked perfectly and the dip was bubbly. I will definitely be making this again. I mean you can’t go wrong with bread & cheese!! Am I right?

•  1 can refrigerated biscuits
• Olive oil, for brushing biscuits
• 1/2 c. plus 1 Tbsp. crumbled Parmesan
• 2 c. shredded mozzarella
• 1 c. ricotta
• 3/4 c. frozen spinach, defrosted and chopped
• 1/4 c. mayonnaise
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. kosher salt

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Halve biscuits and flatten each one out, then roll into a ball and place in an oven-proof skillet seam side down. Arrange in a ring around the skillet. Brush biscuits with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Parmesan.
2. In a large bowl, combine mozzarella, ricotta, spinach, Parmesan, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and salt and mix until combined.
3. Spoon dip into center of skillet and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
4. Bake until warmed through, bubbly, and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Apple Pie

( I cheat a little by not making crust )

• make your own crust/ or refrigerated/ frozen pie crust.
• 1/3-1/2 cup of sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon & nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 8 cups of thinly sliced apple. I like using granny smith. ( 6-8 apples)
• 2 tablespoons of butter

 

• Heat oven to 425
• Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, & salt in a bowl.
• Stir in apples until coated
• Dump the mixture into the pie crust
• Distribute butter on top in small pieces
• Use the extra pie crust to apply on top. You can do a design like me or just apply it on top and cut slits  ( cut off additional crust on edges) Whatever your heart desires.
• Cover edges with aluminum foil. ( take off the last 10-15minutes)
• Bake for 40-50 minutes.
