Just Add Magic: Keeps 'Em Quiet Cobbler

      Here's another mysterious recipe from Just Add Magic. This recipe is used, in the book, to keep whoever eats it quiet. And the only antidote is Moon Honey. And, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, please go read the book. It's a good one, I really enjoyed it.

Keeps 'Em Quiet Cobbler

Stopped the gallo from his early morning cockle.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened

10 ripe apples, sliced

2 tablespoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cloves

2 tablespoons almond paste

1 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon aged vertivert stems*

With a hand mixer, thoroughly beat flour, sugar, softened

butter. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix apple slices with

cinnamon, cloves, almond paste, and vertivert stems. Add the

flour mixture and stir until well-blended. Put into a baking

pan and bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes

or until apples are tender.

HOOK, Give it to me, That Apple Cobbler"
~ Apple Cobbler, Artist: LL Cool J

      *Now, the special ingredient here is the aged vertivert stems. It may not be a real ingredient, but its what makes the eater of this Cobbler keep quiet. So don't sweat it if you can't find it, I'm sure it tastes just as good without it. Come back for more recipes from Just Add Magic!
