APPLE TURNOVERS BY MARZETTI®

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a microwave safe bowl, combine apples, butter and cinnamon and microwave for 3-4 minutes. The apples should be slightly tender. Microwave longer if necessary. Drain apples. Allow apples to cool. Toss with cookie crumbs and Marzetti Old Fashioned Caramel Dip.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll puff pastry sheet into a 10 x 10 inch square.
• Cut into four squares. Lightly brush a 1/2-inch border around each square with cold water. Fill the center of each square with an equal amount of apples.
• Fold one corner over the fruit to the other corner to create a triangle. Press the dough together on both sides. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. With a fork, crimp the sides together.
• Repeat the process with remaining apples and dough.
• Lightly brush turnovers with egg glaze. With a small knife, make vent in the top of each turnover.

• In a microwave safe container, microwave Marzetti Old Fashioned Caramel Dip for 10-30 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds. Transfer warm caramel to a resealable plastic bag. Snip the end off one of the corners of the bag and drizzle the top with the warm caramel. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

MARZETTI'S DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Hard boil the eggs. We start them in cold water, cover the pan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Then remove from the heat and let set for 15 minutes. Then cool them down with ice water and peel. Cut lengthwise and put the yolks in a bowl and the whites on a tray (I like to use pie plates, because they can be covered with plastic wrap and not smash the eggs). Mash up the yolks with a fork or pastry blender. Stir in the Marzetti's Coleslaw Dressing until you have the desired consistency. Taste it -- you might want to add a bit of salt and pepper. Fill the egg white with the mixture and sprinkle with paprika. Refrigerate until serving time.
• TIP #1: Add about 1 tablespoon of salt to the cold water, and the eggs will be a lot easier to peel.
• TIP #2: Put the filling mixture into a ziploc bag. Cut off a corner and simply squeeze the filling into the egg whites.
