Finished some of the leftover green chili apple cobbler. Really good stuff. Maybe even better today.

Here's the easy recipe in case anyone is interested.

Green Chile Apple Cobbler.

Apple Filling:
4-5 Apples, such as Granny Smith, Fiji or Gala, peeled, cored and sliced
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup roasted peeled and chopped Anaheim or Hatch green chiles (canned may be used, drained)
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice

Topping:
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups flour
Grated zests of 2 lemons
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 sticks butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Apple Filling:
Combine the apples, brown sugar, chiles, vinegars, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and allspice in a bowl and mix well. Spoon into a greased 9-by-9-inch baking dish.

Topping:
Combine the sugar, flour, zest, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl and mix well. Cut in the butter until crumbly. Stir in the cream Spread over the apple mixture and press firmly. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until brown and bubbly.

From "A Taste of the Missions"

Notes: I cut the apples back. The recipe called for 5-6, but the five I did were enough for the baking dish and the gluten-free version.
I used only apple cider vinegar. 
I might add chopped pecans to the topping the next time I make it.
I think it would actually work with pecans and possibly raisins instead of the green chiles.(Think of Apfel Strudel.)

I sautéed some sliced mushrooms with a little garlic, added sliced grape tomatoes.,and some lovely thin asparagus.  Added a little white wine and let very thing get  nice and soft, then moved them to the side of the skillet and added the chicken to the skillet browned it nicely then added little more white wine and let it simmer

Is this spicy?  I never heard of chills in apple cobbler before

Of course I never heard of onions and apples with brown sugar before you introduced me to that delicacy and now it's one of my favorite sides with pork or chicken

That was a gift from the Little House on the Prairie books. And it's one of my favorites, too.

Yeah. I'd be freaking out, too.

And thanks for the wishes.

I am 75% through Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

It's only OK, but the book is holding my attention because of a great reading by Kathleen Wilhoite, whom, if I recall correctly, is a close personal friend of BK.

Did a set of liner notes for one of the two show releases, and will start the other tomorrow.  Then did a show order (finally!).  Now must take a break.
