Apple Danish Apple Danish
Danish at the store is very crispy and delicious, but it's also loaded with butter, so I came up with this recipe using only a modest amount of butter in the dough and put some filling inside.The dough will not get soggy if you remember to wipe off any moisture on the apples before you make them into a filling.

Apple Jam Apple Jam
I wanted to use this for a dinner dish, so I made jam without sugar!! It's quite sweet and tart.The salt and the water are used to release the moisture from the apple, so you only need a little bit, but the amount of moisture released will depend on the size and condition of the apple, so add more water if necessary.Mashed Fuji apple jam will be slightly firm.

Apple Preserve Apple Preserve
This recipe comes straight from my Mother-in-law. From a young girl she collected so many recipes, and decided to make her own little cookbook. Of course, once I caught eye of this I went straight for it :). I am very lucky in regards to having this woman in my life, a very special lady. Anyway I have been watching her cook for many years and one recipe that I always found interesting is this Apple Preserve recipe.It is very simple to make but there is a twist to it. She always added 2 dashes of Rum.:). It tastes delicious.....that's if you like Rum, otherwise it taste delicious without the Rum.
