Apple - raspberry Pie (Pie de manzanas y frambuesas)

Many people ask me why I have a recipe blog.  Certainly I would not necessarily have to give an explanation but in Chile people are curious.  I do not make money. I do not make promotions. I do it for the simple pleasure of sharing and because I have inherited from my grandmothers and my mother the love of cooking. Sometimes the time is short, I am taking care of my mom (after my dad died) care two dogs (one is 1 and a half months old. And care about my twins and hubby :) Sometimes I make my posts with Wolf (the puppy)  in my arms cause is like a baby.! Wolf But especially I love baking.   It relaxes me makes me loose the problems, the urgencies, this difficult and selfish world.  And I've always been like this is not from now only. I also like share , people always ask me for recipes. I love Pies and since hubby was saying "there are lots of apples" so I was  looking  for a recipe and found this  with raspberries  and apples  and we  loved it! Source : Country living Thi

Passion fruit souffle (Souffle de maracuyá)

Also known as grenadilla, passion fruit is a tropical fruit with intensely flavoured slightly sour, yellow juicy pulp. I have to confess that I absolutely love passion fruit (aka maracuya) and in fact you can make desserts, tarts, ice cream, I had not made a soufle but the recipe enchanted me.  Absolutely recommend. I always use frozen maracuya if you do not have fresh maracuya. It freezes very well.
