Pies and tarts and bars

Work has kept me busy this winter.  I haven't had as much time to sit in front of the computer or to take pictures of what I make.  Things are only going to get busier!  Nothing's new around here, so I'm just going to post what I made today.

Fed sourdough!  Will be ready to use either this evening or tomorrow.

Apple pie.  No sugar.  Pie crust recipe here.

Bacon and mushroom tart with rest of pie crust.  Tart filling has:
one small onion, 1/2 green bell pepper sauteed, few chunks bacon ends and 1 cup sliced mushrooms added in until cooked, 4 eggs, 4 Tbsp sour cream, a dash of A1 Steak Sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, and fresh parsley.  Pre-baked crust for 8-10 min.  Poured in filling, cooked for 20-30 minutes (wasn't paying attention to timer).

Mmmm bacon mushroomy goodness.

Granola bars!  

1 cup applesauce, 1 egg (can leave out), 2 1/2 cups rolled oats, little less than 1/2 cup homemade chunky jam (peach cherry this time), few sunflower seeds and ground flax seed to equal 1/2 cup, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, dash cinnamon, sprinkle vanilla.  Bake in greased 8x8 for about 20-25 minutes or until set.  Recipe can be greatly modified to suit your ingredients (general rule 1 cup applesauce : 2 1/2 cups rolled oats: 1 egg : 1 cup dried seeds/nuts : 1 cup dried fruit (or 1/2 cup chunky jam)
