Spread the mixture evenly Pie-Crust Topping In a bowl add the All-Purpose Flour Blend With a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the shortening, butter or margarine until pea size pieces form. Do not over blend. It should be somewhat crumbly. In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together. Pour your wet mixture over the dry pie crust mixture. With a spoon, fold into dry ingredients until moist. You may need a little more whipping cream if the mixture is dry. Add a Tablespoon at a time. Use a spoon to scoop out pie dough and drop random dollops of the dough over the top of the berry mixture. You should be able to see the berry mixture between the dollops. Use up all the pie crust dough. In a small bowl or cup, blend the cinnamon-sugar mixture together. When done, sprinkle the mixture over the top of the dough. Place the Marrionberry Cobbler in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, until the berry mixture bubbles up and the crust is a light brown. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or a whipped cream substitute. NOTES: I use Palm Oil Shortening. If using a vegetable shortening, use about 1 Tablespoon less shortening. Do not use coconut oil for this recipe. You can also roll the pie dough out. Cut into strips and place over the top of the berry mixture. You can use this same recipe to make a mixed berry cobbler.

The aroma of baked apples and spices fills the air, making it impossible to resist. Whether served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or enjoyed as-is, this classic dessert brings back the taste of simpler times. The pie crust recipe is made with " Inspiration Baking- All Purpose Flour Blend . Find the recipe on this website. This recipe will also make other delicious recipes with just a few tweaks! Check out our recipes ! SERVINGS: 6-8 PREP TIME: 30 MIN COOK TIME: 45 MIN TOTAL TIME: 1 HR and 15 MIN INGREDIENTS Pie Filling Prepared Inspiration Baking Pie Crust dough (makes 2 crusts) 5 Cups peeled and diced apples 1/2 Cup granulated sugar 1/4 Teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 Tablespoons cornstarch or Instant Tapioca Pudding 3 Tablespoons butter or margarine 1 Egg white + 1 Tablespoon water for pie crust egg wash 1 Tablespoon Sugar Ground cinnamon to sprinkle on the top of the crust before baking (omit if using the crumb topping) Optional Crumb Topping 1/2 Cup " Inspiration Baking- All Purpose Flour Blend . 1/4 Cup packed brown sugar 1/4 Cup cold butter or margarine 1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon DIRECTIONS Pie Filling Preheat oven to 425°F Place 5 cups of peeled and diced apples in a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the granulated sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Add the mixture to the diced apples and stir to coat all the apple pieces. Cover with plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes. Stir the mixture a few times as the apples get juicy. Prepare the pie crust for a 9-inch pie pan as instructed. Place the bottom crust in the pie pan. Do not trim off any extra dough that can be used when crimping the two edges together. Stir the apple mixture and scoop into the pie pan. Cut up the 3 Tablespoons of butter and drop on top of the apple pie mixture. Place the second pie crust on top. Crimp the edges. Cut slices in the top of the pie crust to allow the filling to bubble freely while baking without lifting the top crust off. Use the egg wash to cover the top of the pie crust. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Place pie on large baking sheet. Cover edges with foil to prevent over browning the crusts edges. Remove foil 15 minutes prior to full baking time. 12. Cook for a total of 45-50 minutes. Remove pie from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Crumb Topping Option Crimp pie crust edges. In a small bowl, combine all dry ingredients together. Cut in the cold margarine or butter with a fork just until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle the crumb topping onto the pie filling. Bake as directed. Check after 30 minutes to make sure the crumb topping is not over browning. You can always loosely cover the pie with foil. NOTES: I make the pie filling the day before and refrigerate it. This allows the spices to absorb in to the apples. Be sure to stir every few hours. If you are unsure if the apples are soft enough after baking, carefully use a fork to test the apples. Do not push the fork through the bottom crust or the filling will seep out. The pie will continue to cook as it cools. Be sure to completely cool the pie before cutting. You can always rewarm in an oven or a microwave. When its time to crimp the edges, use the extra dough that drapes over the pie pan and crimp with the top layer. When crimping a single crust, turn the extra dough inward and then crimp. This creates a cradle for the filling.

Grease with shortening (not oil spray) 2-donut pans with 6 cavities. In a bowl combine course granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Spread the mixture into a baking pan to roll the doughnuts in after they are baked and still hot from the oven. In a bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients and set aside. In a second bowl add all the wet ingredients together. Using a hand mixer on low, blend the wet ingredients together for about 30 seconds. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low for about a minute, scraping the bowl at least one time. Take the piping bag and cut the tip off for an opening about 1-inch. Place the batter into the piping bag. Be sure to fold the end of the bag so the dough does not run out. You can also use a clip. Set the piping bag in a large drinking glass for ease of spooning the batter in the bag. Pipe the batter into each cavity about half full. It creates a nice round rope looking batter in the cavity. If there is left over batter, you can discard it or pipe it into the cavities. Use a knife with dipped in water to smooth the batter out if needed. Bake 12-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Bake one pan at a time. Remove pan from the oven and immediately remove one doughnut at a time. Be sure to loosen the donuts with a large spoon around the edges so they don't break apart. Roll into the crumb mixture. Place on a cooling rack covered with parchment paper. Repeat for each baked doughnut. Place the second pan in the oven and follow above instructions. Eat warm or cooled. They will last several days. Do not place in a plastic bag, Use a covered container to store. You can freeze the doughnuts without the crumb mixture. Rewarm in a low oven, then roll in the sugar cinnamon mixture. NOTES: You can also frost the doughnuts with other toppings. See recipes for doughnut toppings. I have not had success with the silicone doughnut pans. Use a metal pan.

Set rest aside for making bread 1/2 Teaspoon granulated sugar 1/2 Cup brown rice 3/4 Cup warm water Sourdough Bread 1 3/4 Cup (267g) Inspiration Baking- Pizza Flour Blend 1 Teaspoon ascorbic acid (powdered vitamin C--do not crush a vitamin C tablet) 1 Teaspoon Baking powder double-acting 1/2 Teaspoon Guar Gum (do not omit) 1 package Rapid Rise yeast plus rest of yeast packet for sourdough starter 2 Whole eggs 3 Tablespoons olive oil 1/4 cup warm water Tapioca starch/flour to shape the dough Olive oil for brushing the dough Soft pastry brush Parchment paper DIRECTIONS Make the Sourdough Starter In a bowl with a covered lid, combine the yeast, brown rice flour and sugar. Stir. Next add the warm water and stir together. Cover with the lid for a minimum of 2 hours with a maximum of 14 hours. Make sure it is fermenting before using (bubbles forming). Making the dough when sourdough starter is ready to use. Preheat your oven to 175°F, then turn the oven off once it reaches temperature. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Make sure the pan is at least 12-inches long. In a separate bowl, whisk the the dry ingredients together and set aside. Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment to mix the dough. Place the sourdough starter in the mixing bowl. Add the 2 whole eggs, oil and warm water to the sourdough starter. Mix on low for about 30 seconds. Add the rest of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl. Blend medium high for about 2 minutes until the dough is smooth. Scrape the bowl several times. Use the parchment paper in the baking pan and place it on a flat surface dusted with tapioca starch/flour. The dough will be tacky. Using a rubber spatula, remove the dough from the mixing bowl and place in the middle of the tapioca starch/flour. Dust more flour on top. Place flour on your hands and shape the dough into an oblong loaf. The dough will be covered in the flour. (See notes to make baguettes). Brush away excess flour around the shaped loaf. Using the parchment paper the dough is on, move it to the baking pan. Use a sharp knife to lightly score the top of the dough. Don't make the cuts too deep. They will widen as the dough rises. Spray olive oil over the surface of the dough. Use a pastry brush to cover the surface and sides of the loaf evenly. Loosely cover the dough with plastic wrap. Place in the warm oven until double in size (40 minutes). If the dough starts to crack, remove from the oven. Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove the plastic wrap and place in the oven. Bake for approximately 60 minutes. Check after 40 minutes to make sure the top is browning. Rotate the pan to ensure even browning. Remove the pan from the oven. Remove the bread using the parchment paper and place on a wire rack to cool. Completely cool before slicing. NOTES: You can substitute the ascorbic acid for another 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, double-acting. Ascorbic Acid helps with the rise of the bread and acts as a preservative. You can get ascorbic acid at the local grocery store in the vitamin section. Remember, it is powdered or granulated vitamin C, not tablets. Make sure there are no other ingredients. To make banquettes: 1. Use a banquette pan for two loaves. If you don't have one, you can shape a piece of tin foil to hold two loaves. 2. Follow the rest of the instructions for making the bread.

Decorate your cake with shavings of chocolate, mint thin candy as shown in the photograph, or miniature chocolate chips. You can make a two layer cake using two 8 or 9-inch round or square baking pans. You may need long toothpicks to hold together so the layers do not slip off while in the refrigerator.

SERVINGS: 9 PREP TIME: 20 MIN COOK TIME: 25 MIN TOTAL TIME: 45 MIN INGREDIENTS Coffee Cake Batter 1 1/2 Cups (282g) Inspiration Baking- All Purpose Flour Blend 1 Tablespoon Double Acting baking powder 1/2 Teaspoon Xanthan Gum 2/3 Cup Granulated Sugar 1/2 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract 1/4 Teaspoon Almond Extract 2 Large Eggs 1/2 Tablespoon White Vinegar 3 Tablespoons softened butter or margarine 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise 1/2 Cup Sour Cream or dairy free sour cream or unflavored dairy free yogurt Streusel Filling 1/2 Cup packed Brown Sugar 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon 2 Tablespoons melted butter or margarine Streusel Topping 1/4 Cup Packed Brown Sugar 1 Teaspoon ground Cinnamon 1/2 Cup Inspiration Baking- All Purpose Flour Blend 1/4 Cup cold butter or margarine DIRECTIONS Preheat your oven to 350° F. Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan. Prepare the Cinnamon Streusel filling . Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl. Melt butter. Pour melted butter into the dry mixture. Using a fork, combine. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk together the Inspiration Baking- All Purpose Flour Blend , xanthan gum and baking powder. Set a side . In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the rest of the ingredients. Blend on low to combine. The butter will be lumpy. Add dry ingredients to the bowl. Blend on medium for 2 minutes. Scrap the bowl at least one time. Batter will be thick. Pour 1/2 the mixture into the greased pan and spread to the corners. Then sprinkle the streusel filling over the top. Using a knife, gently swirl the batter and filling together one time. Do not mix it together. You want the swirl effect. Top with remaining batter. Carefully spread the batter over the lower layer. To make the Cinnamon Streusel Topping , combine the dry ingredients together. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut in cold butter with the dry ingredients. It will be crumbly. Place the streusel topping on the top of the batter. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes our fairly clean. Serve warm or cooled. NOTES: If using an 8x8 inch pan, you will need to bake longer. Make muffins. Bake 14-16 minutes. You can freeze the muffins for several months by wrapping each muffin in plastic wrap and placing inside a freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature. Substitute sour cream for dairy free sour cream or dairy free unflavored yogurt. You can also drizzle a glaze over the top. Add water to powdered sugar and stir until consistency is thin. Adding some blueberries or raspberries to the batter is another idea. It's a great way to change the recipe to a dessert. Top with ice cream, whipped topping or eat as is.
