Since we first got our copy of Christopher Hirscheimer and Melissa Hamilton’s Canal House Cooks Every Day, we’ve been inspired by its simple, straightforward, delicious and REAL recipes (we made their dry-brined roast turkey for Thanksgiving.) Right now, their Apple Tart recipe (below) is calling us.

We’ll be giving away a free copy of their big red cookbook in time for the holidays. To find out how to enter — it’s easy — click here. We’ll be chosing a winner on December 5th.
