i asked the chef a few questions that are important to me., why does a cheesecake shrink or reduce it s size, because it s overcooked or the oven was too hot., what effect has the butter in a cheesecake as i see some of the recipes we saw call for butter., texture , they are cremier., some cheesecakes call for flour or cornstarch which is better, purists or cheesecake gurus never use flour or cornstarch but it makes a difference in consistency, and by flavor she advises to use, cornstarch , also they bake better., which is better to use , sour cream or whipping cream, it all depends on the quantity of grease the product has , but most of the recipes ask for sour cream., what size do you recomend the molds, movable base , 22 or 24 cm diameter and 9 cm. height., when you add chocolate or butter to the mix it has to be warm., if you want to freeze a cheesecake, do it with the mold, so that it keeps the size and form.

apple tartin, quick cooked tart it is called an apple tartin and is very simple and beautiful. my daughter has made this for school and she never brings any back, plus she always has a large number of requests for the recipe. this depends on the size of the saute pan you use. i start with about a 10 pan well coated with no stick pam and i use about 2 sliced apples, about a 1/2 to 1/4 thick (i like granny smith, but use what you like). i then melt unsalted butter and enough brown sugar to cover bottom of the pan and make a thick syrup after it cooks. i thin put the apples into the syrup and cook a few minutes so they get coated good with the syrup., i over lay the apples or shingle them is the tech term in a round circle like a huge sun flower design or something that works for you, be creative! i then use bought flake pastry dough and put on top of the apples enough to cover completely and make an edge on the outside of the tart. you can roll the dough at the edge make a little design in it to close the edge or just leave the edge open but in a round shape no rough edges.then i put in the oven and brown the pastry dough. when it is done (doesn tsp take long to cook) i have a large plate that i put over the saute pan and invert so the whole thing comes out with the, apples on top and the crust on bottom. i then coat with my simple water and sugar syrup ( recipe above) for a shiny coat and then i serve with cool whip or ice cream. 1 thing i forgot . you will have a center hole the apples you can cut a round shape ot of the apple or fill with cool whip, but if you can cut the top of the apple with the stem intact it looks nice in the hole. i have used cookie dough for this recipe and it works , but the pastry works best for me.
