Must Try Monday {Pumpkin Apple Autumnal Confection}

categories: My Favorites
So excited to introduce you all to Laura @ Peace but not Quiet.  Love that blog name, don't you?  It definitely describes my house sometimes, that's for sure!  Anyway, Laura stepped up to be this week's cohost, and she's a girl after my own heart.  Once you see this "autumnal confection" she created, you'll love her, too!  If you are interested in co hosting, just email me or fill out the form on my Contact page and we'll go from there.  

I can't take total credit for this recipe. It was my husband's idea to
combine the two best tastes of fall -- apples and pumpkins -- into one
tasty autumnal confection (why, yes I have been waiting
all day to use that term. Thank you.)

Here's what to do:

For topping -- stir together 1 c flour, 2 Tb sugar, 1 1/2 tsp baking
powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 1/4 tsp allspice. Cut in
1/4 c butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

For filling -- combine two peeled, sliced apples, 1/2 c pumpkin, 2/3 c
sugar, 3 Tb water and 1 Tb lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes until apples are almost tender. In a
small bowl, mix 2 Tb water and 1 Tb cornstarch; add to filling and
stir until thickened.

In another small bowl, combine 1 egg and 1/4 c milk. Add to topping
mix, stir until moistened. Pour filling into 2 qt baking pan (or pie
plate, if you happen to think that looks prettier). Using two spoons,
drop topping in small mounds on top of filling.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 min or until a toothpick comes out clean.

A slice of that, hot out of the oven, with maybe a scoop of vanilla
ice cream? Certainly not the worst idea I've heard today.
