My friends at Taste of the South magazine have just put out one of my favorite issues each year, the Fall Baking Issue. I was flipping through it this past week and came across this recipe for Apple Pecan Cobbler. I immediately called up the editor and asked if I could share it on Southern Plate and of course, he graciously said yes!
So here ya go, the recipe that made me stop in my tracks: Apple Pecan Cobbler.
Be sure and pick up your copy of the Fall Baking issue at your local newsstand, book store, or grocery store because there are tons more recipes that you’ll want to add to your files! This issue is a keeper! If you can’t find the magazine where you are, you can also order it online at the Hoffman Media Store by clicking here.

Thanks, I just picked up this magazine last week! There are a lot of good recipes in the book!
🙂
Well, I’m definitely in the pit you mentioned these days, Christy…but it makes me feel a lot better to have read your inspiration today. Aside from your daily emails and recipes, I find myself able to relate to you,,,and your gift of gab full of humor:-)
I do believe God is somewhere in my messes…all of them…and if His pit is anything like my kitchen junk drawer, I guess it’s gonna take Him awhile to find me! You can give Him a hint though, with a little prayer…tell Him to look in the kitchen drawer…haha
Thanks for being my friend morning, noon and sometimes even in the middle of a long and lonely nite….you are sunshine and moonbeams!
Hey Judy, your post touched my heart and I want you to know that I will be cheering for you and praying for you. Look up to Him who will come along side of you and comfort you. Phil. 4:13
Best, Janet
I love you Judy! It seems we are soul sisters, and I like the way you think! Yes, we can give him a hint…and sometimes, I even shout really loud so he can find me a little quicker 🙂
Well, I think I have my new recipe for Apple Festival 2015!
(This takes place in my kitchen, by the way.)
Thank you, and thanks to Taste of the South magazine for sharing 🙂
I hope you enjoy it!! I can smell it cooking now 🙂
*swoon* … adding this recipe to my list for the holiday weekend … too, too delicious looking!
All this apple business you got going on is making me just YEARN for cooler, fall weather. South Texas is still hotter than, well…hotter than the inside of my oven’s gonna be when I cook us up some happy, apple yumminess! I.simply.cannot.wait.
I just read your email for today…..I love it!! We must stand up for what we believe. God is with us all day and night, guiding and protecting. Your recipes are great and so is your writings. Keep up the good work.
I apologize for putting this comment in the wrong place, but I just read your e-mail about people being highly offended (not just regular offended!) by your references to God and faith. OH, MY GOODNESS. It never fails to astonish me when people come to your (anyone’s) blog, which you own and are the boss of, and try to tell you how to run the show. It’s like someone coming into your house and being offended by the color of your drapes. Wha? What kind of sense does that even make! Anyone who comes here to visit you needs to remember their manners and respect you and your way of conducting yourself. You handled that very tactfully I thought, and though it would be a shame if people unsubscribed over such a thing, you were right in pointing out that they have that option. Bless you, and absolutely keep standing up for your beliefs.
Cheers to you for taking a firm and no-nonsense stand with those ill-mannered people who would dare to criticize you for your Christianity as they enjoy your free blog and recipes. You responded with exactly the right tone and I hope they feel ashamed of their rudeness. I am very tired of people who think they have the right to demand that No one speak of beliefs That are not the same as theirs. They obviously don’t know what America and our form of government is all about. Keep up the good work. Your blog is one of my favorites.
Very well said.
Christy, a big AMEN to everything that you posted. Keep up the good work, love it all.
May God bless you Christy Jordan and continue to give you the ability to each out and touch people with your words. I love to receive each and every letter, message, blog from you…They lift the clouds a bit higher on dismal days and make the sun seem a bit brighter on others. Thank you! and thank God for granting you such a wonderful gift. I will soon be eighty years old…come the 1st of the year and your blog is the 2nd thing I read each day ( the 1st is my instruction manual-God’s Holy Word ). Both of these make my day! God and you–A GREAT COMBO !! Keep it coming, dear heart and may HIS blessings be abundant!
Funny how the atheists of the world seem to be “highly offended” by any mention of God. If they’re so convinced its all hocus-pocus, then why are they bothered? I suspect it’s because deep down they really aren’t sure and it makes them squirm.
At any rate, it’s ridiculous for them to send you rude emails. Gosh, no one is forcing them to read your blog!
Thank you for NOT APOLOGIZING for your faith. It is beyond me why people feel they have the right to complain about something they have the power to change. If they don’t like your page and your comments, they are certainly welcome to leave and let the rest of us who appreciate it enjoy it in peace. Keep your stories, encouragement and real-ness coming.
Wow! Ditto what Erin said. I feel bad that I too didn’t say anything earlier about your post gently defending your expression of your faith on YOUR blog. I think it is just terrible that you would have to do that. YOUR blog is yours. It is expression of who you are and it is real and genuine and quite frankly such a breath of fresh air compared so much that we encounter is this crazy world that is so meaningless, superficial and fake. Authenticity should be valued and appreciated regardless of one’s religious beliefs. I have to admit that being a person of faith does effect my perspective and I make no apologies for that.
