applesauce
2 tart apples, peeled and diced
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 small cinnamon stick
1/3 cup water

4 oz Truly Grass Fed unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
For the applesauce, combine chopped apples, 1 tbsp butter, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, and water. Cook over low heat, stirring once in a while until the apples are fully cooked, reach a caramelized color, and the juices dry entirely. Measure ¾ of the applesauce for the cake and save extra for breakfast. Let cool before using.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF/medium/180ºC. Grease with butter and dust with flour 2 round cake pans (8×2”).

Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients, stir until fully incorporated, add 1/3 more, beat to incorporate, stir in the last 1/3 and mix until a smooth, even batter is obtained.
Pour half of the batter into the 2 baking pans and pop them into the oven for about 35 minutes, until the cakes are golden brown, risen, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove them from the oven, transfer them to a wire rack, wait for 10 minutes to unmold, and let them cool completely before assembling the cake
Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Place the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla into the bowl of the stand mixer and, using the paddle, stir for about 3 minutes, just until creamy and combined. Add 1/3 of the powdered sugar, mix until fully incorporated, add another 1/3, mix a little bit more, and then incorporate the last 1/3. If the weather is hot, refrigerate the cream cheese frosting for 15 minutes. If not, let it aside until ready to use.
With a serrated knife, level cake’s tops as needed. Place first cake, cut side up, on the serving platter. With a spatula, spread 1/3 of the frosting into an even layer. Place the second cake on top, cut side down. With a spatula, spread the remaining frosting on top and sides of the cake.
Refrigerate the spice cake for about 2 hours, or until frosting sets. Serve it chilled or at room temperature, as you wish. Cake keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.

½ cup water for the purée (or just a little bit more)
1 sachet rapid rise active yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup lukewarm water for the dough
4 cups bread flour
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup Truly Grass Fed salted butter, melted and at room temperature
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2 tsp salt
¾ cups unpeeled pumpkin seeds, toasted

12 oz Truly Grass Fed unsalted butter, frozen and coarsely grated
1 tsp lemon juice
½ cup iced water, approximately
Flour to dust
Egg yolk to brush
filling
14 oz kabocha pumpkin, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 rosemary sprig
1 bay leaf
1 small onion, chopped
4 tbsp ghee
salt and black pepper
Instructions
For the dough, stir the flour, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add butter and rub with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs and just begins to come together. Stir in lemon juice and, adding iced water little by little, mix just enough to form a soft dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Do not overwork the dough.
Dust a working surface with flour and a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into a rectangle of 16×10” (1/5” in thickness). Fold the dough in thirds like a letter, turn 90 degrees, sprinkle with a little more flour, roll it again and fold in thirds. Wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.
Meanwhile, prepare the pumpkin filling. Heat the oven to 160ºF. Combine the pumpkin, garlic, bay leaf, onion, ghee, salt, and pepper into a medium-sized dutch oven. Pop into the oven for 45 minutes or until the pumpkin is very soft (stir after 20 minutes). Discard rosemary sprig and bay leaf and blend to obtain a smooth paste. Adjust salt and pepper and, if there is any moisture, dry it over high heat for a few minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Dust a working surface with flour and roll out the dough as even as possible (1/5” in thickness).
Using a large pumpkin cookie cutter (4 to 5”), cut the dough 24 pieces. If you desire, cut eyes and mouths on 12 pumpkins for topping. Place 1 tbsp of pumpkin filling on the center of 12 pumpkins and cover with another pumpkin. Press the edges to seal and brush with the egg yolk. Transfer them to a baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
Heat the oven to 400ºF/hot/220ºC.
Pop the turnovers into the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, until they get crusty and golden brown on top and all around.
Remove turnovers from the oven, transfer with a spatula to a serving plate and serve. If desired, bake them the day before and reheat in the oven before serving.

First things first: if the soufflé turns out perfect and gets to the table like that, it will be lovely; but don’t worry if it lowers, it’s no obligation, and it will be good even so. While in the oven, the light cream will rise and get crispy; the texture and flavor will still be delightful! Remember that all soufflées are fragile – even the most experienced chefs will wonder if it’s going to work out perfectly and if it won’t lower in the way to the table. The important thing is to have everything ready for the soufflé to be served immediately.

Spinach
2 tbsp Truly Grass Fed unsalted butter
1 bunch of spinach
1 small onion finely chopped
1 clove of garlic finely chopped
salt
Soufflé
