NecPear Puff - Home grown Nectarine and Japanese Pear baked in Phyllo pastry

This year, my garden has a fewer crops then the previous years.  Either I did not prep the soil correctly or the weather temperature is just too crazy.   There are no tomatoes growing, yet.  The corn that grows heartily did not even show up.  The young nectarine tree, however, had some 15 fruits that I appreciate, and my 20 feet tall "dwarf 21st century Japanese Pear" had some fruits.  So, I sliced them up, added some stuvia sugar, potato starch, wrapped them in buttered Phyllo pastry sheets, and voila!, NecPear Puff!





Pennsylvania Dutch Crumb Coffee Cake

This is the testing of Pennsylvania Dutch Crumb Coffee Cake recipe from the Baker's Odyssey cookbook.  It was fun making it.  By mistake, I script the name of the baked goods as Blum's Coffee Crunch Cake on the each Photo.  Sorry about the mistake.  I will repost it later when I have more time to edit them in the Picasa.



 



 
 Layer the bottom with half of the crumbles, then, pour the main batter mixture on top.
 Top with the other halves of crumbles and bake till golden brown.
