Apple Spice Cheesecake with Calvados

December 4, 2020 No Comments

With the holidays creeping ever closer, we all have sweet things on the brain. From gingerbread houses to steamed puddings, this is sugar’s peak season. Now, obviously, a cookie obsession takes hold of us every December, but this year, with the COVID of it all, the need for dessert magic is all the more acute. For many of us, the treats we leave on the porches of friends and family will be the closest we physically get to one another. So, everything we can’t say with a hug will have to be said with a box of cookies or a tray of squares or, in my case, a quarter of this Apple Spice Cheesecake. No pressure or anything.

There is snow on the ground and holiday lights on my house, which means it is finally acceptable to eat my weight in comfort food. Okay, so maybe I do that all year round. But there is something far more satisfying about tucking into a bowl of cozy deliciousness when your cheeks are stinging from the cold. The outside world may be transforming into a beautiful yet inhospitable place, but all those frosted toes and damp clothes make dishes like today’s Sweet and Sour Pomegranate Meatballs taste that much better. Nothing like a side of suffering to make comfort food all the more comforting.

I don’t know about you, but after a few evenings of holiday dinner leftovers, I want anything but. Unfortunately, holiday leftovers rarely run out before my interest does. And that’s why I’m always thinking up new and interesting ways to completely transform the remains of the day. I want whatever I make with my leftovers to bear almost no resemblance to its former self. Case in point – these Leftover Turkey Samosas with Cranberry Chutney.

When I was growing up, fish sticks were among my favorite things in the world. Right up there with KD and Corn Pops. But it’s been a long time since I indulged. Somewhere in my early teens, I lost interest in those golden sticks. I’m sure my long-suffering mother was delighted to see me move on – her freezer-burned nightmare was over. But I still think about those dinners fondly from time to time. I’m convinced they would not thrill me in the same way. But still, the format is compelling – chicken nuggets but make it fish. So my mission was clear, I had to make Grown-Up Fish Sticks and that’s exactly what I did.
