Jazz Apple Love

I must tell you, I have a new love...Jazz Apples.

Have you tried them yet?

If you haven't you are missing out on one of the most crisp and tasty apples you will ever eat!

I know they are grown in New Zealand and in Washington State, Australia, Austria, France, Italy, Chile and Switzerland. 

Jazz Apples are a cross between a Royal Gala Apple and a Braeburn Apple.

I eat apples daily and until I found Jazz to be the perfect eating apple and baking apple .

This recipe I am going to share with you came from the Jazz Apple website http://www.jazzapples.com/sitemap.

The next time you are in the market, do yourself a favour and purchase some Jazz apples, if your store does not carry Jazz apples ask them to order some!

JAZZ Apple Pound Cake Stack

Ingredients:

·        4 ounces cream cheese, softened

Directions:

In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, honey and orange zest with hand mixer. Spread each pound cake slice evenly with the cream cheese mixture. Core and slice the apple. To assemble the sandwiches, lay the apple slices on 4 of the cake slices, dividing equally.

Top with 4 more cake slices and then layer on strawberries. Cover with the remaining cake slices. Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal and secure each half with a decorative sandwich pick. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
