Balsamic Caramel Apple Crisp

Don’t shy away from making caramel . . . we promise it is easy if you follow our directions! The result is a creamy, rich caramel sauce that has an added depth of flavor thanks to our Aged Red Apple Balsamic Vinegar. Besides tossing the apple filling with this sauce you’ll also use it to drizzle over the warm apple crisp and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!

Another “twist” on this apple crisp is to skip adding butter to the topping mixture and instead use our Butter EVOO. We promise you won’t miss the saturated fat loaded butter in the recipe! Our heart-healthy Butter EVOO provides great buttery flavor and will help the topping brown beautifully!

Avocado Egg Toast with Maple Balsamic Glaze

If you’ve never experienced avocado toast you’ve been missing out! A slab of toasted whole grain bread with ripe avocado slices gently smashed on top . . . no butter or jelly needed for this toast! Our “twist” this week is to take an ordinary avocado toast recipe and make it extraordinary! We start off by cooking an egg “sunny-side-up” in our Butter EVOO that is then placed on top of the smashed avocado. You’ll then add a small amount of our Aged Pure Maple Balsamic Vinegar to the hot pan and quickly reduce it to a yummy glaze that you’ll drizzle over the avocado egg toast. Delish!!

Apple Balsamic Cider Bread

Although you may miss the shape of a doughnut we can guarantee that is all you’ll miss in this recipe! It is moist, full of apple flavor, and we dare you to stop at one piece! Our “twist” on the recipe is to make a homemade apple sauce using chopped apples, apple cider, and our delicious Gravenstein Apple Balsamic Vinegar. This yummy apple sauce is added to the batter featuring our heart healthy Butter EVOO, which we used in place of melted butter often called for in similar recipes. No need to stand over a hot vat of oil frying doughnuts with this recipe . . . simply transfer the batter to a bread pan and bake! We are pretty sure this will be your new Fall favorite recipe!

Red Apple Balsamic Blondies

Traditionally blondies are made with brown sugar and lots of butter! We have “twisted” our own version by using our Butter EVOO in not just the blondie base but also the apple filling and the maple glaze that tops these chewy, sweet treats! Our Red Apple Balsamic Vinegar also is added to all 3 layers for an added punch of sweet apple flavor!
