Toblerone Cheesecake

I had a hard time deciding which 1 to make. New York cheesecake or Toblerone cheesecake. Little did I realize the latter was an unbaked cheesecake..! I could have just made both..! 1 while the other is in the oven..! I got the recipe from a pack of philadelphia cream cheese.. It was so..nice, I'm so gonna make it again.

Apple Pie

Let's just keep it short & sweet. Plans to go jalan raya was cancelled so I stayed home & baked. Something I've been wanting to try, apple pie.



T''was nice, sweet & would have tasted great with vanilla ice-cream..! Of course, getting 1 from McDonalds works too. Hehe.



 


INGREDIENTS



  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced

DIRECTIONS




  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
  2. Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
  3. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.
