Sweet Apples in the Oven

A simple and homey dessert that is always satisfying as well as guilt-free. In Belgium, a baked apple is a traditional accompaniment to many pork and game dishes. But if you feel extravagant, you can transform the simple baked apples into a special dessert by serving them with Creme Anglaise (see recipe I posted). From Everybody Eats Well in Belgium.

Speculoos (A Flemish Spice Cookie)

I could not believe that there wasn’t a recipe for Speculoos on the Zaar. Did a search while I was crunching down on a couple of them – the others I saved to dunk into my coffee. To my mind, there is no better cookie to enjoy with a cup of (very good) coffee. Thin, crunchy, spicy. They are perfection. Be sure to roll the dough out very thin (I’d say about 1/8th of an inch. Adapted from a recipe found on epicurious (I like my speculoos spicier).
