Requested recipes

Here are two recipes some of you have requested...

For Aunt B., Melted Rosemary Brie on Apple Wedges
This recipe originally came from Bon Appetit

2 large Granny Smith or Fuji apples, cored, cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
1 10-ounce piece Brie, rind trimmed, cheese cut into thin slices
chopped fresh rosemary

Arrange apples on baking sheet. Top each with slice of Brie. Sprinkle with rosemary and freshly ground black pepper. (Can be made 1 hour ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature.)

Preheat broiler. Broil apples uncovered until cheese melts, moving sheet for even cooking, about 1 minute. Transfer to platter; serve hot.

For M. & K., Never-Fail Pie Crust
This recipe is courtesy of Grandma P., and honestly, it lives up to its name. It's only been difficult for me once, and I think that was my fault. I use a Kitchenaid to make it, which makes it very fast and easy.

4 c. flour
1 T. sugar
1 c. Crisco
2/3 c. butter
1 tsp. salt

1 egg
1 T. vinegar
1/2 c. cold water

Mix flour, Crisco, butter, sugar, and salt until small pea-sized clumps form.

Add egg and vinegar. Add water until the dough pulls away as a ball.

May be kept in fridge for at least 1 week until used or frozen for a month or two. Makes 4 single crusts.
