Now to find a recipe I saw this week, somewhere.

Ha! I posted that one here, and I have one in the oven RIGHT NOW. (The second one of the weekend - pie-cake #1 was for family to test, pie-cake #2 I will bring to work for Bake Club: Apple.)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Good job, msbelle (and mac)!

Just got back from lunch with my newest co-worker, where we ranted about everything we don't like about this job. She's really sad I'm leaving; I think it won't be long before she quits too. I'm sorry it hasn't worked out for her, but selfishly a little glad that it wasn't just me who found our office really clique-y and weird.

Ooh, I want apple pie-cake!!

Epic thanks for the offer but I got in at 1130 last night and am leaving after work!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Excellent! I am excited. I have had a springform pan for years and have yet to use it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I am tempted to make that in a non-springform pan, as I haven't got one. But then again, as long as the oatmeal holds out, I will be quite happy with apple crisp.

It would definitely work in a regular cake pan, the only advantage to the springform is it makes the first slice easier to serve.

Aaaaand I just realized I forgot (again) to nonstick-cooking-spray the pan before I put the apples in. Oh well, it released well enough yesterday.

OH, and I also highly recommend substituting up to 1 cup of the oil with sour cream, if you want it to taste like the Little Pie Company's sour-cream walnut apple pie.*

*Adding walnuts would also help in this regard.

Do I actually need caster sugar?

I am so excited about Dylan's Halloween costume!! He decided he wanted to be The Atom, which meant it had to be DIY or very very expensive, so I asked my knows-how-to-sew-and-stuff neighbor to help out, and this was the result. (She also made a little gold atom symbol iron-on patch for the forehead once the cowl arrives - I ordered a blue lycra ski mask from Amazon, and a pair of red lycra opera gloves.)
