This pie may have a lot of ingredients, but you'll likely find most of them in your pantry. Bonus: You can make the pie the night before and then keep it in your fridge until you're ready to beat the whipped cream topping and serve. Roll out the extra dough this recipe yields and cut it into shapes to add to your cookie tray.
These flaky wonders are a hand-held spin on apple pie. Cover the phyllo pastry with a damp tea towel to prevent the remaining sheets from drying as you assemble the turnovers.
Gingerbread overload? There's no such thing! These soft, chewy ginger-spiced thumbprints are filled with a tangy cream cheese icing for the ultimate holiday treat. A sprinkling of chopped crystallized ginger gives the cookies an added festive touch.
The sweet-tart cranberry almond compote is tamed by the fluffy richness of the biscuits. For a twist, instead of topping the compote with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream, try cr?me fra?che or whipped mascarpone. Toast almonds in a skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan often, for about 5 minutes, while the cranberry mixture is cooking.
Because Dad is an apple pie fan, surprise him with a variation on his favourite. Mom always appreciates an elegant finish to a special meal, so she'll be enthusiastic about the flaky layers of phyllo surrounding the fruit. Serve with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
These invitingly spicy glazed German cookies, which can be baked ahead, are what many holiday cooks like best. Roll and cut out rectangles, fun gingerbread folk, trees, stars, or — in the northern European holiday tradition — hearts.
