CREAMY APPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Whisk sour cream, sugar, vinegar, and ranch dressing mix together in a large bowl; fold in cabbage mix, apples, celery, and green onion. Toss mixture to coat; season with salt and pepper. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill until flavors blend, 20 minutes to 4 hours.

APPLE PHYLLO CORNUCOPIAS

Steps:

• Peel and core apples and cut into small chunks.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add apples, sugar, spices, vanilla, and lemon juice and cook until apples are soft but still firm, about 10 minutes. Chill on a plate.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Unroll phylo dough and cover with a damp towel. Remove 4 sheets from pile (do not separate) and brush top with walnut oil. Cut into thirds lengthwise. Remove 4 more sheets, cut one strip the same size as the others, and brush with oil. (Wrap remaining dough in plastic; refrigerate or freeze).
• Spoon apple mixture onto ends of strips. Roll into free-form cone shapes, loosely gathering and folding back excess dough.
• Place cones on a baking sheet seam side down and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

KIM'S PUFF PASTRY CORNUCOPIA

Steps:

• Gather a long sheet of tin foil and scrunch it up into the shape of a cornucopia (solid form), approximately 12-inches long, and as thick as you desire. Make it big, so you can add lots of desserts or other foods.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Next, roll out puff pastry and cut into 1 inch strips. Begin constructing the cornucopia by wrapping each strip of pastry around and around the tin foil. After approximately 20 strips, the entire foil inner will be covered. Cut out decorative leaves with the remainder of dough and decorate the top of the cornocopia.
• When it's finished brush with egg wash. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
• Once it has cooled, pull the inner tin foil out from the inside. You can fill it with brownies, squares, and cookies.

CREAMY APPLE CRUMB PIE

Steps:

• Line a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate or cast-iron skillet with crust; flute edges. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and allspice. Fold in the apples. Combine sour cream and vanilla; stir into apple mixture. Spoon into crust., For topping, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over filling., Bake at 400° for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 25-30 minutes longer or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.

EASY SUGAR CONE CORNUCOPIAS

Steps:

• Wrap 1 sugar cone in a paper towel and place in microwave. Microwave on high for 15 seconds, or until the sugar cone is soft and pliable. Working quickly and carefully, shape the end of the cone upwards into a cornucopia shape and hold it there until the cone re-hardens, about 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat this process with each cone.
• Place white chocolate into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until chocolate is melted, stirring often. Place the candied ginger in a small wide bowl. Take one of the shaped cones and dip the top of the cone into the melted chocolate, and then into the candied ginger. Set cones on a wire rack to allow the chocolate to set.
• Fill each cone with grapes. Place the cones on a serving platter and sprinkle any extra grapes around the cones.

ROASTED VEGETABLE CORNUCOPIAS WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• MAKE CORNUCOPIAS: Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Fold 6 18"-long aluminum foil sheets into quarters. Roll each one into a cone. Bend the "tail" end of the foil cone, if desired.
• In bowl, beat egg with 1 tbsp water and a pinch of salt. Place 1 puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Gently pull the ends to stretch it to 10 inches wide. Cut the pastry dough into twenty 1/2-inch strips. Loosely wrap 1 of the strips around the pointed end of the foil cone. Spiral the pastry strip around the cone, overlapping the edges as you wrap. Add a new strip by brushing the end of the pastry strip with the egg wash to adhere. Wrap the foil cone with 4 more strips of pastry, gluing with the egg wash as you wrap.
• Place the cones on their sides on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
• Allow to cool before gently pulling the foil cones away from the cornucopias.
• MAKE THE GRAVY: In a pan heat oil. Add onion, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover. Cook 1/2 hour, or until soft, stirring occasionally.
• Uncover, increase the heat to medium, and cook 7-10 more minutes, or until browned and carmelized. Add wine. Simmer 2-3 minutes or until 2/3 of the liquid is evaporated. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, marjoram, thyme,and 2 1/2 cups water. Reduce heat. Simmer for 30 minutes. Strain into a large measuring cup.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add flour and cook until the flour turns golden (about 5 minutes). Whisk in the strained vegetable liquid. Cook 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened.
• MAKE THE VEGETABLES: Preheat the oven to 450F degrees. Toss all the vegetable ingredients (cauliflower, squash, zucchini, carrots, pearl onions, mushrooms, olive oil, sage, marjoram, thyme, salt and pepper) in a large bowl and mix together.
• Spread the vegetable mixture on a large baking sheet. Roast 30-35 minutes, or until brown and tender, turning every 10 minutes.
• ASSEMBLE CORNUCOPIAS: Toss the vegetables with the gravy and fill the cornucopias.

MAPLE CORNUCOPIAS ("CURLS")

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick oil. (I prefer to line a cookie sheet with parchment paper then oil the paper.).
• In a saucepan, boil the maple syrup and oil together for 30 seconds. Be cautious to avoid burning yourself! Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the flour and salt until well blended.
• Oil a measuring utensil and drop the dough by the tablespoon onto the prepared cookie sheet. **IMPORTANT**: Leave 3 inches between each cookie.
• Bake for 9-12 minutes, until the cookie is the color of maple syrup. Remove from oven and let cool 1 minute.
• Carefully remove cookies one at a time. Using a 3/4" to 1" inch piece of dowel, or a broom handle; place the cookie around the dowel (after the 1 minute cooling stage) and roll into either a cornucopia (or curl) around the handle.
