SHORTBREAD: Market Recipe/ Apple Everything... (Gluten Free & Vegan)

That phrase was probably the most important phrase I learnt while cooking over the years. The last little scrape out of the bowl could yield you at least 1 more cookie instead of sending it down the drain with the rest of the scraps. A few weeks ago me and my best friend who is a awesome travel buddy/designer/photographer, decided to head up north to Portland Maine for a photographic and culinary adventure. Now who goes up to north country in the early fall without stopping at at least 1 apple orchard... If not two!?

We naturally went apple picking and when we arrived back in NYC we made a plethora of apple goodies... the main goal (aside from EATING) was to not waste a single part of the apple except for maybe the stem... She clicked away while I peeled, chopped and preped.

Our apple menu consisted of/
A German apple pancake (recipe on Marisa's blog)
Apple Cobbler
Apple Juice
Apple Sauce (see recipe below)
& Apple Pecan Bread

Now you ask how we didn't waste anything aye? Well even the peels we threw in the trusty 'ole vita prep and minced those suckers to juice and used it in place of water in a bread recipe.
