The cooler days of fall often send us to the kitchen to bake.  Sometimes in the summer it is just too hot to have the oven on or so hot we only want ice cream, etc.  But fall seems to bring out the baker in us.  Here we offer recipes that are good year-round but just seem to scream out, "Fall."  First we have a Pastry-Free Apple Walnut Pie.  Doesn't that just say "Fall" to you?  And if that doesn't suit you, try the Indiana Farmers Apple Torte.

PASTRY-FREE APPLE WALNUT PIE

1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced peeled apples

]]>

1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease a 9-inch glass pie plate with margarine or spray with vegetable oil spray. Combine the egg and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla. Stir to mix. Add the walnuts, apples, cinnamon and nutmeg. Using a large wooden spoon, stir to mix well.Spoon into the pie plate and using the back of the spoon, spread evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

This pie is delicious served warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

In another bowl, combine the egg, butter and vanilla in another bowl and mix well. Add the egg mixture to the apple mixture. Stir until the batter is all moist and well blended. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 to 45 minutes. Serve topped with whipped cream.
