Thank you so much for posting these recipes. I know it's a pain to do it!

Hi May, I have made the same recipe for years. I just roll the dough into an 18" square as noted. Spread with the apples, eggs, cinnamon sugar and then bring each corner to the middle. Seal the seams. Now all the apples mixture is in cased in dough. Now the fun part.... I like to place the 'bundle' on a cookie sheet with side. Using my biggest chefs knife, I chop at random, cutting all the way through, until I have what looks like a big mess, and pieces of dough are about 1 inch, random cuts, so some are larger and some smaller, odd angles. There will be apple, eggs and dough everywhere, it's messy! Hence the cookie sheet. Then you scoop into the pans. I used to buy a bread like this at an apple orchard. I'd wait every fall to be able to get it. They drizzled the cooled loaves with confectioners sugar glaze. Yummy. My favorite way to enjoy...thick slices, toasted. Nancy

Shambo, on Amazon's home page--at the very top of the screen next to where it will say 'Shambo's Amazon.com', click on 'Today's Deals'. The first set of 'deals' will be the 'Gold Box Deal of the Day.' Just below the Gold Box Deal will be the Lightning Deals. There will be a bunch of these limited time deals...scroll across to see all the current ones and upcoming ones. They have a time limit on claiming the deal & completing the purchase. I think it's a couple of hours but you'll see that when you click on an item & add it to your cart. Another tip...when you get to the Lightning Deals, look over on the right hand side of the screen--Click on 'Sort by Category' to hone in on your area of interest (vs having to scan thru a bunch of junk you have zero interest in.) Yesterday, there were a bunch of small appliance deals (Zo, Panasonic, Cuisanart, etc.)--not so much today. :-( Anyway, happy hunting.

Can't help with the original post, other than to say if you use spice cake you may not need any additional spices, or maybe just 1/2 to 1 t. of pumpkin pie spice mix for a true "pumpkin spice" flavor. I will also contribute a really great recipe. If you can't decide between pecan pie or pumpkin pie, this bar recipe is the best of both worlds. -Grainlady PUMPKIN PIE SQUARES Base: 1 c. all-purpose or whole wheat flour (your choice) 1/2 c. brown sugar (can reduce it to 1/4 c. if you'd like) 1/2 c. butter (softened) Mix until crumbly and press into a 13x9x2" baking pan. Bake 15 minutes at 350°F. In a large bowl (or blender) combine: 1 (15-oz.) can pumpkin (puree) 1/2 c. brown sugar 1 can (13.5 oz.) evaporated milk 2 eggs 1 t. cinnamon 1/2 t. ginger 1/4 t. cloves Beat well and pour mixture over baked crust. Bake 20 minutes at 350°F. Topping: In a small bowl combine 3/4 to 1 cup chopped pecans 1/2 c. brown sugar 2 T. butter Sprinkle over pumpkin filling and bake 15-20 minutes more. Cool in pan on rack. Cut into 2" squares. Yield: 2 dozen. Grainlady notes: You can use 2 t. pumpkin pie spice mix for the cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. I use coconut palm sugar instead of brown sugar (which lowers the glycemic impact). For a gluten-free version, replace the all-purpose flour with an all-purpose gluten-free flour mixture.
