We have the most wonderful community that comes and to support our annual book fair each fall. This is the second time that Cherry Street Book Store from Alexandria has been partnered with us for the book fair. Because of the generosity of our patrons who shopped at the book fair, we are able to receive brand new books for our library for no cost.
Cherry Street Book Store allows us to purchase books from any subject matter, which helps us to fill in gap areas that need to be updated. Thank you to all who continue to support this wonderful event.
We are featuring cookbooks over the next several weeks. With so much holiday baking going on, this might be a great time for you to stop by the library during our public library hours of 3:30-5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays and check out one of these fabulous cookbooks.
“Apples, 50 Tried & True Recipes” by Julia Rutland is our first book. In this cookbook, you can learn many facts about apples. For example: there are more than 7,500 apple varieties grown around the globe, the state of Washington produces more than 50 percent of the apples grown here in America and because the volume of apples is more than 25 percent air, apples float.
The names of some of the recipes include, Slow Cooker Apple Butter, Upside Down Apple Pecan Pie, Apple Spice Cake with Butterscotch Drizzle and even Apple Sausage Cheddar Cornbread.
The recipes are not complex and could easily be made with a friend or your grandkids. Today I am making the Dutch Apple Crumble Pie for my son-in-law. The crust of this pie isn’t an ordinary plain pastry crust, but rather has a cinnamon-oat-streusel topping similar to a soft granola cereal. The main body of the pie is made up of items that are staples in most kitchens, such as sugar, cornstarch, lemon, nutmeg, flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon and butter along with 6 large apples. It will make one 9 inch pie that bakes for 15 minutes at 400 degrees and another 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Of course I’ll have to serve it to him warm with vanilla ice cream.
Merry Christmas Citizen’s Advocate readers.
