Apple Crumble Tart

Hands up if you want the recipe for the easiest, coziest, summer dessert! Warm apples with a luscious caramel sauce on a bed of buttery flaky crust.

Top it off with some vanilla ice cream, or eat it warm. It’s sure to please any crowd!

Please note- If you prefer store bought pie dough- that works perfectly fine! However, I’d still bake the crust before putting the filling inside. This is not a traditional pie or tart recipe since the filling and crust are baked before the crumb topping but I promise it’s delicious!

Yields 6 slices

INGREDIENTS:

For The Crust:

• 1 1/3 cup white all purpose flour
• 3/4-1 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick butter or 1/2 cup
• 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
• 3 tablespoons iced cold water

For The Filling:

• 2 apples cored and sliced into cubes
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
• 1/2 stick of butter or 1/4 cup
• 1/4 teaspoon corn starch
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons half and half milk

For The Crumble:

• 3 tablespoons butter cubed
• 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

DIRECTIONS:

For the crust:

• Start by preheating the oven to 450 degrees F and making the crust.
• Mix the flour and salt together, then add the cold cubes of butter, and vegetable shortening and mix everything together with a pastry cutter or fork until you have pea sized pieces in the dough.
• Add the cold water and mix with your hands until you form a the dough. Add extra flour if the dough is too sticky or extra water if the dough is too stiff.
• Cut the dough into 2 equal pieces and save one half in a plastic bag in the freezer! You can use it for another time or use it to make empanadas 🙂
• Roll the dough into a circle and place it on a pie dish. Create tiny holes with a fork so the dough doesn’t bubble up too much.
• Bake the crust for 16 minutes- it should be golden in color.

For the filling:

• Grab a frying pan and melt the butter at medium high heat, add the apples and brown them up, add the cinnamon, sugar, salt, corn starch, and milk and mix everything together. The apples will soften up and the sauce will get nice and thick and caramel like.
• Turn off the heat, and pour the apple filling onto the prepared crust.

For the crumble topping:

• Mix all of the crumble ingredients together until it forms a crumbly dough. Then pour it on top of the tart.
• Bake the tart for 16 minutes or until the top is golden brown, and the crumble topping is cooked through.
• Allow the tart to cool 15 minutes, then slice and serve with vanilla ice cream! It stores well in the fridge for 5-6 days.

-Enjoy!

Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl

This bowl is so delightful for lunch. It can be eaten either cold or hot. I personally prefer to heat it up before eating it. I meal prep the ingredients ahead of time which makes it SO EASY to throw together in the morning for lunch in the afternoon. It’s easy to whip up if you have the roasted sweet potato cooked.

You can substitute pretty much any kind of meat, or veggies here! But this combination is heaven.

Recipe: Yields 1 Buddha Bowl

INGREDIENTS:

• 4-6 Cups Baby Spinach
• 1/4 Chopped Avocado
• Micro Greens * (optional but helps boost nutrients)
• 4 oz. Ground Turkey
• 1/2 Cup Roasted Sweet Potato
• 2 Tablespoons Hummus
• Coconut or Olive Oil for Cooking

DIRECTIONS:

• Start by heating a non-stick skillet, and adding a little bit of oil.
• Add your spinach. It won’t take too long for it to cook and wilt. It may seem like a lot of spinach but it will get smaller once it’s sauteed. You can add bell peppers, or mushrooms here to boost the flavor and a little bit of salt and pepper if you wish.
• Next, assemble the bowl. Place the cooked spinach, then the rest of the ingredients and top with hummus.
• If you meal prep this recipe, simply heat it up in the microwave for 1:30-2 minutes and then stir it all up and eat it.

*Note – this recipe stores well in the fridge for about 3-4 days!*

Bon apettite!

Healthy Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner! I have a delicious/ easy recipe that you and your family will love all without the bazillion calories of the delicious traditional recipe you grew up with ;). I absolutely love the flavor of these enchiladas- I am an enchilada lover and these remind me of the traditional ones (healthy doesn’t have to lack on flavor). You won’t believe how easy these are! They are packed with protein, healthy carbs and fats.

If you don’t have flour tortillas, I highly recommend trying my Oat Tortilla recipe! You won’t believe how easy these are to make…only ONE ingredient, healthy and they work beautifully with this recipe!

These also pair beautifully with a side of refried beans, cauliflower rice, or simply on a bed of greens if you want to keep it light and fresh. Top it off with cilantro, pico, guacamole, and greek yogurt or sour cream for even more deliciousness!

Recipe: Yields 4 Servings

INGREDIENTS:

For The Chicken Filling

• Olive Oil for Pan Coating
• 1 Finely Minced Garlic Clove
• 1/4 Cup Diced Onions
• 1/4 Cup Diced Tomatoes
• 2 Cups Spinach
• 1/4 Cup Green Enchilada Sauce
• Ground Salt
• Ground Black Pepper
• 1 LB Chicken Breast or Shredded Cooked Chicken

For The Enchilada Assembly:

• 4 7-inch Flour Tortillas (I Used my Homemade Oat Flour Tortillas but you can use any kind)
• 1 Cup Green Enchilada Sauce of Choice
• 1 Cup Shredded Cheese of Choice (Mexican Blend, Cotija, or Jack Cheese)
• Cilantro for Garnish

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Start cooking the vegetables in a little bit of olive oil until they are nice and the onions are translucent. Transfer the cooked veggie mixture into a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook the chicken breast until it’s no longer pink and the juices are running clear. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees F. Once the chicken is done, you can shred it using two forks, or simply dice the chicken (careful because it will be hot), and then transfer it back to the pan. You can now mix the the cooked vegetables, 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce, salt and pepper with the chicken. Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture back to the medium bowl and set aside while you assemble the enchiladas.
• In a separate bowl, add the 1 cup of enchilada sauce. Dip up to two tortillas in the sauce and place it at the bottom of your baking dish.
• Add the chicken and vegetable mix, then 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese evenly distributed on top.
• Top it off with another two tortillas that are dipped in the enchilada sauce, and top it off with the remaining sauce, and shredded cheese.
• Bake it for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is nicely melted.

*You can substitute or leave the chicken out completely if you prefer to make it vegetarian and add more veggies to your liking.

*You can also broil the enchiladas the very last 2 minutes if you want the to char the cheese a little bit.

*For a little extra flavor, you can also cook the tortillas with a little cooking spray in the pan or butter before dipping it into the enchilada sauce… 😉

*You can store these in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or in an airtight plastic bag in the freezer for up to two weeks.

Enjoy!
