  I make crostoli every year for our friends and family.  It's a traditional Italian pastry that my grandmother used to make.  This recipe is kind of like mine, only I omit the rum, use regular milk, and add lots of grappa .  It takes forever to make but is totally worth it!  https://allrecipes.com/Recipe/crostoli-pastries/detail.aspx

  

  I'm working on a bunch of crochet dishcloths and pot holders for friends, aunts/uncles, etc.  If I have time I'm going to make a toque for my bro.  My nephews will get scarves.  We're trying to boost our savings a bit before we list our house / shop for a new house so pretty much everyone on my list is getting home made stuff LOL.

  ETA: added link

  These look AMAZING!

  Makes 6 baked apples

  Ingredients

  1/4 cup brown sugar
  1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  2 tablespoons trans-fat free margarine
  1 teaspoon cinnamon
  6 Gala or Macintosh apples, cored
  1/2 cup apple juice or apple cider
  2 tablespoons orange liquor (optional)

  Directions

  Preheat a large crock-pot on high heat and preset it for 3 hours. In a large bowl, mix brown sugar, walnuts, margarine, and cinnamon. Fill the apples with the filling and place them in the crock-pot. Pour in the apple juice or cider and the liquor, if using. Cover and cook 2 1/2 to 3 hours on high heat until the apples are soft and begin to collapse.

   

  **I would omit the liqour and rather than ALL those walnuts I would rather use Pecans and a crumb filling...
