Thin sliced granny smith apples, smoked gouda, and something mild, like perhaps roasted turkey or chicken breast (not the processed lunch meat, the *actual* meat). Between some nice focaccia, it's juicy, cheesy, hearty, and strait up good.
I think the best tip I ever picked up for apple pie was from the Joy of Baking website, where she suggests tossing the apples with your sugars first and letting them macerate and release all their juices BEFORE putting them in the pie. Once your apples are nice and soupy, drain off the sugar juice and reduce it down into a fantastic apple caramel glaze to add back to the apples. Every pie I've made since then has taken that advice, and it makes it so my filling reduces far less in the oven.
However, I will admit that right now there's a batch of apple turnovers sitting on my counter made with cresent roll dough from a can. We had every intention of using puff pastry, but didn't have the two hours for it to defrost, so we instead made strudel with a roll-out crust and turnovers with crescent dough. (I'm in graduate school, am I still allowed to play the "lazy-student" card?)
May I suggest minced candied ginger in an apple filling? For the minced apple filling in the turnovers it added a wonderful flavor note and texture to the creamy Braeburn apples.
While I'll cook a lot of veg*an foods, my absolute favorite is still Amazon Cake (worth googling, by all means!) It's the best go-do dessert, because not only is it fantastic (better than any chocolate cake from a box or a store), it's made entirely of pantry goodies and is entirely vegan. Fantastic when you're just craving a chocolate *something*, and more than good enough for a party or a gift (I've iced it with a good cream cheese icing and shaved chocolate, and got compliments from my friend who works as a cake decorator!)
While the knee-jerk reaction is absolutely Morimoto, I would have to reconsider and give Batali his cred. Flay's pompous, and Cora has some mad skills, but Batali always always impresses me (sometimes more than Morimoto). So the orange clogs win it for me, too.
