Brown Butter Baked Apples with Hazelnuts
Sweet orchard apples are filled with toasted Northwest hazelnuts, brown sugar, and warm cinnamon, then baked until tender and fragrant for a warm and cozy dessert.
Ingredients:
4 medium baking apples
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
½ cup toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of fine sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup apple cider or water
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking dish or another small baking dish that will hold the apples snugly. Using an apple corer or small paring knife, remove the cores from the apples, leaving the bottoms intact to hold the filling. Widen each opening slightly to create room for the hazelnut mixture. Place the apples upright in the prepared baking dish.
2. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter foams and the milk solids turn golden brown, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from the heat as soon as it smells nutty and fragrant. Stir in the vanilla.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the toasted hazelnuts, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Pour in 3 tablespoons of the browned butter, including the flavorful browned bits, and stir until the mixture is evenly moistened.
4. Fill the apples: Spoon the hazelnut mixture into the hollowed apples, packing it gently and mounding a little filling on top. Drizzle the remaining browned butter over the apples. Dot the tops with the remaining tablespoon of regular butter.
5. Pour the apple cider or water into the bottom of the baking dish. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15–25 minutes, until the apples are tender when pierced with a knife but still hold their shape. Let the apples rest for 5 minutes. Spoon some of the warm pan juices over each apple and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

Apple-Pear Galette with Hazelnut Crumb Topping
This rustic fruit tart is fragrant with cinnamon, sugar and toasted hazelnuts.
Ingredients:
Farm & Larder galette dough, chilled
2 Gala apples
1 red d’Anjou pear
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Hazelnut crumb topping (see below)
Topping:
1 cup toasted hazelnuts, thoroughly cooled
â…” cup sugar
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
â…› teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch pieces
Method:
1. To prepare the topping: Place the toasted hazelnuts and sugar in a food processor and pulse until the nuts are well chopped. Add the flour, salt, and cinnamon and pulse again to mix. Remove the lid and scatter the butter over the dry ingredients. Pulse until the mixture resembles medium-fine crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°. Peel, halve and core the apples and slice into ¼-inch thick pieces. In a bowl, toss the fruit slices with the sugar and cinnamon.
3. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the pastry into a 12-by-14-inch rectangle and transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Decoratively arrange the fruit slices over the pastry to within an inch of the edge. Top the fruit with the hazelnut crumb topping and spread out in an even layer (you may have leftover topping). Fold the pastry edge up and over the fruit to create a 1-inch border.
4. Bake the galette for about 1 hour, until the pastry is nicely browned and crisp and the fruit is tender. Transfer the pan to a rack and let the galette cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Roasted golden beets, sliced and still warm from the oven (see recipe)
1 head escarole, washed, dried and coarsely chopped
1 head frisée, washed, dried and coarsely chopped
Farm & Larder hazelnut-thyme vinaigrette

½ cup Farm & Larder toasted hazelnut topping
Fresh-cracked pepper
Method:
1. In a small bowl, add frisée and escarole and drizzle with about ½ cup Farm & Larder hazelnut-thyme vinaigrette, and toss to combine. Allow to stand at room temperature for about 1-2 minutes, allowing greens to soak up some of the vinaigrette.

Variation: These beets are also wonderful served over thinly-sliced fennel in lieu of the greens. Just let fennel soak up vinaigrette for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
