From Market to Plate: Autumn Baking Hack

At the Burke Area Farmers Market, we are blessed with many great bakers. We can't resist a pan of cinnamon rolls from the Yoder family, a soft loaf of sandwich bread from Annette, Crumbl-Style cookies baked up by Mya, sourdough loaves from Flakey Bakery and Brandi, whole grain delights by Nancy, various muffins and bars made with seasonal produce that pop up on many vendors tables, and, of course, the pies from Maryanne. We couldn't possibly pick a favorite delicious baked good to take home from the weekly market. We love them all, and we love the convenience of shopping for them on Thursdays.

But, what if we didn't get in line soon enough to take home an amazing homemade dessert? What if you did purchase an incredible delight from one of our vendors' ovens, but your family already devoured it? What if it is Tuesday, and you NEED something sweet? 

JandH Goods would like to save the day. Jason and Holly have canned up an array of pie fillings with fresh produce to make baking soooo easy for you. As a graduate of the South Dakota Cottage Home Processing Food Safety Course, JandH Goods can ensure top quality, safe canned goods. In addition to apple, blueberry, and peach pie fillings, the family processes jams and jellies (including a collaboration with fellow BAFM Ray's Saskatoon Berries), hot sauces, pickles, and homemade vanilla and vanilla bean paste. Don't miss their booth for a chance to make every meal better.

And, what to do with that pie filling? It is great as a topping for cheesecake and ice cream, but we whipped up a super easy version of a semi-homemade pie. The pat-in-the-pan crust becomes a crisp shortbread to hold the filling, and the toasted oat crumble on top is sweet and nutty. Any flavor of pie filling would work in this recipe, and this time, we chose apple. Not only do we get to enjoy a scrumptious treat, but baking it up makes our house smell cozy and divine. It's the best Autumn Baking Hack from the Burke Area Farmers Market.

Choose Your Flavor Quick Homemade Pie

1 quart jar of your favorite JandH Goods Pie Filling (apple, blueberry, or peach)

For the Crust:

1 1/4 cups flour

1/4 cups sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

For the Crumble:

1/2 cup flour

1 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

Preheat oven to 350F.

For the Pat-In-the-Pan Crust:

Using your mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, and butter until crumbly.

Press the dough on the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie pan.

Bake for 20 minutes.

While the crust is baking, make the Crumble:

Using the same mixing bowl, combine flour, oatmeal, brown sugar and butter until crumbly, but clumps easily when pressed between fingers.

When the crust is par-baked, carefully pour in the entire jar of pie filling and spread to level.

Sprinkle crumb topping over the pie filling.

Bake pie for 30 to 35 minutes, until filling is bubbly and crumble is toasted.

Enjoy!
