orative circles of flaky, tender-textured cream cheese pastry are
full-flavored apple crescents, spiced with cinnamon and sugar.
The tart, all-purpose Washington Winesap variety was chosen
for this “mouth-watering” cobbler, as its wine-like, pungent taste
lasts from tree-to-table.

is browned.

BACON TIP
Do you have trouble separating
bacon slices? One way is to re-
move the bacon package from the
refrigerator 5 to 10 minutes be-
fore cooking. Place the thin edge
of a rubber scraper under the top
slice andlift off individual slices.
If several slices of bacon are to
be cooked, peel off the whole
group and place it in the pan.
The slices can be separated as
the bacon begins to cook.
