Cozy Fall Recipes

When Meghan's Husband was away for the weekend Jacqueline came to stay and they whipped up some cozy fall recipes.

WITCHES BREW (FROM CHRISTY'S THROWBACK KITCHEN)

INGREDIENTS

• 1 ½ lb. kabocha (Japanese pumpkin), skinned and cut in 1 inch cubes

• 1 ½ lb. butternut squash, skinned and cut in 1 inch cubes

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

• 1 medium sized yellow onion, quartered

• 4 garlic cloves, skinned

• ¼ cup olive oil

• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

• 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth

• ½ cup heavy cream

• Salt and pepper

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

2. In a large mixing bowl, add cubed pumpkin, butternut squash, quartered onion, garlic cloves and fresh thyme. Drizzle with olive oil and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss well so all the veggies are coated. Dump the mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until squash is tender and caramelized.

3. Carefully add the veggies to a blender with four cups of chicken broth. Blend. Add to pot over medium heat with the remaining chicken broth, nutmeg and ground ginger. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer until ready for serving. Just before serving, add the heavy cream. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust accordingly.

APPLE GALETTE

INGREDIENTS

• 1 basic pie dough

• 3 apples, cored and sliced

• 3 tbsp. packed brown sugar

• Juice of 1/2 lemon

• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

• Pinch kosher salt

• 1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 tsp water

• 1 tbsp. demerara sugar

METHOD

1. Make basic pie dough, and let chill 2 hours.

2. Meanwhile, prep your fruit filling: Combine sliced apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Gently fold to coat apples.

3. Preheat oven to 400° and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface roll dough into a 12" circle about 1/8" thick. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.

4. Arrange apple slices on top of dough, leaving a 1 1/2" border around the edge. Fold the edge nearest to you towards the center. Rotate sheet plan slightly and repeat, until all edges are folded towards fruit.

5. Brush egg wash over crust and sprinkle with demerara sugar. Bake until crust is golden and fruit is tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack and let cool completely before slicing.
