Ingredients

1 onion, sliced
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 small head cabbage, cored and shredded (about 2 1/2 pounds) 1 1/2 cups veggie broth 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup bbq sauce 1 tablespoons butter

Directions

Cook the red onions, apples, in a tablespoon of butter,salt and pepper, to taste. Saute until the mixture softens, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and stir until it begins to soften and wilt down; season again with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the veggie broth and the apple cider vinegar and reduce over medium-low heat. Cover and stir occasionally until the cabbage is tender.





Once cabbage is cooked, remove the lid and add the BBQ sauce. Turn heat to medium and let the liquid reduce until it's nice and syrupy. Serve hot.

Janice's Lo Pro Pumpkin & Apple Pie

I made an apple one & pumpkin, all low pro, and these were our main deserts. Topped with some yummy whip cream (can stuff). I always 1/2 precook my apples too, helps cut down on the juices ( & thicken with the juices in a pan with a tiny bit of corn starch).


Delicious pumpkin pie.

375 gr pumpkin puree, canned (8.6 ex)

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1&1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

sprinkle of cloves & nutmeg ( all spices = .5 ex)

1&1/2 teaspoon corn starch

2 low pro eggs, (egg replacer)

15 grams egg yolk (8. ex)

1 cup richs (2.8)

2 tablespoons water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 baked lp pastry shell (9-inch) 4. exchs



total pie 23.9 exch divide by 8 piece's = 3.exchs each

( could be lowered by reducing the egg yolk and adding lp egg replacer I guess).

Preparation: Combine pumpkin, sugar, salt, spices, and flour in a medium mixing bowl. Add eggs; mix well. Add milk, water, and vanilla; mix well. Pour into baked pastry shell. Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes; or until center is set.

I have lately precooked my low pro pie shells/crusts before filling, I find that way they hold up better, and do not get soggy or uncooked. Harder to get a top crust on if making a two crust pie, but it all still tastes great.

#1

Pie Crust. for 1 double or two pie shells

2 cups (270 grams juvella) Or welplan a bit more (1.4 ex)

sprinkle of baking soda ( for browning effect)

6 tablespoons cold butter (2.4 ex) (can also use golden criso & it has no phe) or even half & half.

1/4 heavy whipping cream (yes, high pro - (4.1 ex)

3 tbsp water (or a little less)

Cut butter into lp flour with fork. (Butter should be the size of very small peas)

Add cream and water. Mix until a ball forms. Roll out between two layers of saran wrap. Peel off top layer when desired size is reached, and flip over. Use saran wrap to help form into glass pie plate.

Can also use Rich's in place of the heavy cream to cut down on the phe.

#2

1/4 cup richs (.7)

1/4 cup + 2 tbsp water

Makes (2 double pie crusts) total = 8.7

or 4.4 exchs each double pie

or 2.2 exchs per shell for 4 shells

Bea's Upside Down Caramel Apple Muffin

upside down caramel apple muffin which I interpreted from a recipe I saw in today's NYT.

3 apples (about 1 1/2 pounds) peeled, cored and sliced about 1/4" thick
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
4 TB unsalted butter
pinch of kosher salt

Applesauce muffin recipe from V Schuett's cookbook but omit the cinnamon.

In a large skillet over medium high, stir together apples, brown sugar, butter and salt (I added 1 tsp cinnamon)
Cook until apples are tender.

Generously grease a muffin tin (I made 9 muffins). For this I used shortening and I was GENEROUS.

Pre-heat oven to 375

When apples are tender, distribute the apples and any juices into the bottoms of the muffin tins.
Put the prepared applesauce muffin mix on top of the apples and bake for about 18-20 minutes until they are done.

Let cool for a few minutes and then invert the muffins onto a plate.

They came out like perfect little tarts. I served them warm and they would have been really good with some coolwhip on top.
