Spring Skiing Menu

The Chipotle-Black Bean Chili is a hearty main course, with just the right amount of heat, while Irish Brown Bread is an easy homemade bread that's perfect for sopping up those last few bites of chili. Warm up with Hot Chocolate with Ginger and finish off the evening with cozy and comforting Caramel-Apple Crumb Pie.

Chipotle-Black Bean Chili

Chipotle chiles frequently come packaged in adobo sauce (a Mexican-type red sauce) and can be very hot. They're usually found in the Mexican section of your supermarket. Substitute 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper for the chipotle, if desired.

Irish Brown Bread

This simple crusty brown quick bread is one of the most popular Irish bread recipes and gets its hearty flavor from whole wheat flour and rolled oats.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
  • 2 cups whole-wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup regular or quick-cooking rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups plain nonfat yogurt
  • Milk

Preparation

1. In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture forms fine crumbs. Stir in whole-wheat flour and oats.

2. Add yogurt; stir gently. If mixture is too dry to hold together, stir in milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, just until dough holds together; it should not be sticky.

3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and knead gently 5 times to make a ball. Set on a lightly greased baking sheet. Pat into a 7-inch circle. With a floured knife, cut a large X on top of loaf.

4. Bake in a 375° oven until well browned, about 40 minutes. Cool on a rack. Serve warm or cool.

Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chilled butter or stick margarine, cut into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 3 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon ice water
  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • Butter-flavored cooking spray
  • Filling:
  • 1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 9 cups sliced peeled Granny Smith apple (about 2 3/4 pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • Topping:
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chilled butter or stick margarine, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup fat-free caramel sundae syrup

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°.

To prepare crust, lightly spoon 1 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine 1 cup flour and salt in a bowl; cut in 2 tablespoons butter and shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle surface with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time; add vinegar. Toss with a fork until moist and crumbly (do not form a ball).

Press mixture gently into a 4-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover with additional plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, to a 12-inch circle. Freeze 10 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily removed.

Remove 1 sheet of plastic wrap; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Fold edges under; flute. Line bottom of dough with a piece of foil; arrange pie weights (or dried beans) on foil. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until the edge is lightly browned. Remove pie weights and foil; cool on a wire rack.

To prepare filling, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and cinnamon. Add sugar mixture and apples to skillet; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in 3 tablespoons flour and lemon juice. Spoon into prepared crust.

To prepare topping, lightly spoon 1/4 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a bowl; cut in 2 tablespoons butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Drizzle syrup over apple mixture; sprinkle topping over syrup. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until apples are tender. Cool on a wire rack.
