Thanks for the support

Chef & I are just thrilled with the support the freezer food line & the catering business are generating. We have 4 confirmed caters to do in the next 2 months and the frozen food is selling like crazy! Thanks folks! It seems like the name Moose Mountain will be around for a while longer!
We would like to suggest that you get a quote for your Christmas gathering sooner rather than later. My Realtor has given me the go ahead to book parties for the winter in the Moose Mountain Grill. So if you want to use the building for your Christmas party - or any party this winter - let me know!

Now for something sweet this week (like Chef Stephen)...
Apple Streusel Topped Pumpkin Cake
1/2 c + 3 T unsalted butter
4 large granny smith apples - peeled, cored & thinly sliced
5 T granulated sugar
1 t ground cinnamon
1 1/4c whole wheat pastry flour
1 c brown sugar
1/2 t salt
2 t pumpkin pie spice (cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg)
1 t baking soda
3/4 c canned pumpkin puree
1/3 c sour cream
2 large eggs

Method:
Butter & flour a 9x9 baking pan. In a large saute pan -melt 3 T of butter, saute apples over medium high heat until softened (about 5 minutes). Mix 3 T of white sugar & cinnamon in a cup and sprinkle over the apples. Continue to cook until the liquids are thick & bubbly. (caramelized) Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Dice the remaining 1/2 c butter. Let it come to room temperature. In a stand mixer combine the flour, brown sugar & salt. Start mixer on low. Toss in room temperature butter. Mix until butter forms small pea sized pieces. Measure out 2/3 c of the mixture into a bowl & stir in remaining 2 T of white sugar & pie spice to make the streusel (topping). To the remaining mixture in the stand mixer add the baking soda then add pumpkin, sour cream & eggs. Beat until smooth. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Distribute the apple saute over the batter. Then sprinkle the streusel mix over that. Bake for 40 -50 minutes or until skewer comes out clean. Cool on rack. Enjoy with vanilla ice cream.

Again, thanks for your support & keep phoning!
