4 c sliced peeled Granny Smith apples (about 2 pounds)
4 c sliced peeled Rome apples (about 2 pounds)
1 T fresh lemon juice
½ c granulated sugar
¼ c packed light brown sugar
3 T flour
¾ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
Cooking spray
Skim milk
Additional sugar to sprinkle on top (about 1 T)

Combine apples and lemon juice in a large bowl. Combine sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle over apple mixture, tossing well to combine.

Roll half of pie crust into 12-inch circle; place into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray, allowing dough to extend over edge of plate. Pour apple mixture into crust. Place a second circle of dough on top of apple mixture. Press edges of dough together; fold edges under. Seal edges with a fork. Cut slits into top of pastry using a sharp knife. Brush top and edges of pie with milk; sprinkle with sugar.

Bake at 450° for 15 minutes.  (You may want to place it on a baking sheet to catch any runoff.)  Leaving the pie in the oven, reduce oven temperature to 375° and bake an additional 45 minutes or until golden (shield crust with aluminum foil if it gets too brown).

    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse
    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse of a dessert. Quick and easy, with no ice cream maker needed, this dessert may be served as a chilled mousse or frozen completely as a "gelato."

    Celebrate warm weather with nature's sweet berries. Simply served with a light dusting of powdered sugar, this dessert is not a sugar overload, because it relies on the natural sweetness of in-season berries.

    Here is smoky and slightly spicy twist on fried catfish. Instead of coating the catfish in a thick beer batter, I marinate the raw pieces in beer before seasoning them and lightly dredging them in flour
