15 apple dessert recipes

Either as a classic apple pie, an easy apple crumble, or even just baked apples stuffed with spices and dried fruit you'll never get a refusal when you serve up a warm apple dessert.

2. Swedish apple pie

Kitchen Report
Swedish apple pie is as simple to assemble as a crisp, with a chewy, cookie-like upper crust.

By Kendra Nordin, Kitchen Report

4 large firm-tart apples (about 2 lbs.) peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon, plus 1 cup flour
2 tablespoons, plus 1 cup granulate sugar
10 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9- or 10-inch pie plate and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl toss the apple slices with the cinnamon, 1 tablespoon flour, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Stir to coat and arrange evenly in the pie pan (don’t worry if it looks quite full).

3. Using a mixer, combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, the butter and the egg. Mix until well combined and smooth over the top of the apples with a rubber spatula.

4. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
