NFL GameDay Treats & Snacks

With the first Super Bowl event this Sunday at home, large sports gatherings are quite different for 2021. I had fun in the kitchen learning and creating tasty GameDay Bite-Size treats and snacks that are simple and affordable. The snacks are Zucchini Bite-Size Balls with Southern Creole Dipping Sauce and Wonton Taco Cups. The treats are Mini Silk Chocolate Apple and Walnut Pies.

Before adding chopped bell peppers to the wonton cups, I recommend sautéing first. One half is topped with the bell-peppers and the other half is sprinkled with parmesan cheese. Lightly brush the edges of the wonton cups with melted unsalted butter. Bake for 15 minutes.

Vegan Apple Tart

Tarts can be sweet or savoury, modern day tarts are filled with fruit or custards. Either you can prepare an open or closed tart and this post illustrate both options. A flaky outside with a golden sweet crust with a tangy and cinnamony inside filled with honey crisp apples. This simple dessert was made under an hour, which includes both the preparation and baking in the oven. This simple Vegan Tart can be for you alone or for your loved ones.

*Side Note: Prior to preparation for the Tart, take your Puff Pastry out of the freezer and allow it to thaw out for approximately 40-45 minutes.

Slice 5 Apples: choose your favorite apple; for either a sweet or tangy fruit Tart. Preheat oven for 400 degrees.

Squeeze Lemon over the apples, thus preventing them from browning. The lemon also adds a slight tanginess to the sweet apples.

After the Puff Pastry is evenly thawed out, roll it onto a sheet of Parchment Paper. Use one large brown egg and whisk into a small bowl. Now on the outer frame of the puff pastry, brush the egg wash on the outer edges, this adds a beautiful golden crust to the tart.

Carefully align the sliced apples within the frame of the Puff Pastry. Lightly sprinkle the light brown sugar and roasted cinnamon mixture (1/2cup) over the apples. *Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.*

As soon as you take the tart out of the oven, immediately drizzle Organic Apricot Jam over the dessert. Simply mix Apricot Jam and water for 15-20 seconds in the microwave to loosen up the jam. Slide the tart from the parchment paper and onto a hard surface, thus allow cooling before cutting the first slice.

This is right out of the oven with a Golden brown crust, now glaze the Apricot Jam to add a hint of crust flavor and shimmer to the dessert.

Quickly, add the Apricot Jam on top for a delectable golden-color and texture! Enjoy both an open and closed Vegan Apple Tart.

A Banana Tarte Tatin

This delicious dessert is from a talented cook, by the name of Nadiya Hussain. She has a Netflix series called Nadiya’s Time to Eat. I have watched the entire season 1, which has 7 episodes. Nadiya is in the United Kingdom. She creates simple dishes with a burst of flavor. As soon as I saw the Banana Tarte Tatin, I knew I had to give it a shot. Nadia used hazelnuts for her recipe but instead I substituted for walnuts. Thank you Nadiya for this delectable recipe!
