Food Fanfare<br />

<br />

Sharing food with friends and family during special holidays has been a long-standing tradition in American<br />

culture. Our staff created a survey to see which Thanksgiving foods are the most popular with staff and<br />

students. The survey was shared, and 216 people responded. Check out the results!<br />

Sweet Treats<br />

Design Editor Caleigh Plough shares a couple of<br />

her favorite recipes to create tasty treats.<br />

Ingredients:<br />

(For the pie)<br />

1 14-ounce package refrigerated<br />

pie dough (2 crusts)<br />

1 large apple, peeled and diced<br />

2 tbsp. granulated sugar<br />

1 tbsp. all-purpose flour<br />

1 tbsp. honey<br />

<br />

(For the topping)<br />

1/4 c. all-purpose flour<br />

2 tbsp. packed light brown sugar<br />

1 tbsp. granulated sugar<br />

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon<br />

2 tbsp. salted butter, cut into<br />

small pieces<br />

Mini Apple Pies<br />

Directions:<br />

1. Preheat the oven to 375˚. For the pies: Roll out 1 piece<br />

of pie dough into a 12-inch round. Using a 3-inch<br />

cutter, cut out 12 small rounds. Repeat with the other<br />

piece of pie dough to make 12 more rounds. Press each<br />

round into a hole of a 24-cup mini muffin tin, pressing<br />

the dough evenly up the sides. Place in the refrigerator.<br />

2. Toss the apple, granulated sugar, flour, and honey in a<br />

medium bowl to combine.<br />

3. For the topping: Whisk the flour, brown sugar,<br />

granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a separate medium<br />

bowl. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the<br />

flour mixture, a few pieces at a time, until evenly mixed.<br />

4. Place 1 teaspoon of the apple mixture in each muffin<br />

cup; top with 1 teaspoon of the topping. Bake until golden,<br />

about 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then<br />

remove to a rack to cool completely.<br />
