Hello Jerry,
Kubbe is a Middle Eastern dish made with finely ground meat that is stuffed
into a meat & dough or potato shell and then fried. Below are some recipes,
but the Panasonic meat grinder site has pictures and another recipe:
Kubbe
Phaed
Potato Kubbe
Ingredients & equipement
(For the Potato Shell)
*1/4 cup white rice, any type except convertedor instant
*3 Potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
*1 or 2 big slices of day-old bread
*salt
*black pepper
( For the Meat Filling )
* 1 onion, finely chopped
* 2 tbs olive oil
* 1/2 pound ground beef
* Salt
* Black Pepper
* equal pinches of cinnamon, cumin, and curry powder
*1/4 cup minced parsely
*Oil for sautéing
Instructions
1. Boil the rice in 4 cups of water until tender. Drain and allow to cool
down.
2. Steam or boil the potatoes in salted water until tender (roughly 15
minutes). Drain and use a potato masher or mixer to mash.
3. Tear the bread into pieces and whirl them in the food processor-- you
should have about a cup of bread crumbs as a result.
4. Measure 1 cup cooked rice, and add to the food processor, processing
again with the crumbs
5. Add th potatoes to the rice-bread combo and knead the mixture until a
smooth dought is formed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. For the stuffing, gently sauté the onion until soft, add meat and spices,
and fry for a while, making sure to break up the lumps of meat. when
browned, drain any extra oil and stir in the minced parsely.
7. To shape the potato cake, form a ball the size of a lime and insert your
finger to hollow out the inside. Fill with about a tsp of the meat stuffing
and close the potato mixture around the filling. Flatten slightly between
yor palms. At this point I like to place the uncooked kubbe in the
refigerator for an hour or so to firm it up. You can also freeze it as is to
be thawed and fried later on.
8. Lightly sauté the kubbe in oil until pale golden brown and crisp. Serve
hot or at room temp.

Matzoh Kubbe
Dough:
3 eggs
1/2 cup warm water
1 1/4 cups matzoh meal (the coarse kind)
1 tablespoon potato starch
1 tablespoon margarine
Filling:
1 onion
1/2 kilo chopped meat
Mix all ingredients. Season to taste. Freeze for one hour until slightly
hard.
Filling: Saute one onion with 1/2 kilo chopped meat. Season to taste.
Make flat circles of dough about 6 centimeters in diameter. Fill with meat
mixture and fold. Pinch ends (so it is shaped like an American football).
Deep fry until brown.

Kubbe In Hamud (Broth)
Source: "A Book of Middle Eastern Food" by Claudia Roden
Filling:
3 oz. minced lamb or beef
1 oz. fat from the meat, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped parsley
Pinch ground allspice
salt & pepper
Shell:
6 oz. minced lamb or beef
1/2 lb. ground rice
salt & pepper
Hamud Broth:
Carcass of 1 chicken
3-4 celery stalks
2-3 cloves garlic
salt & pepper
juice of 1-2 lemons
Cook the soup, cleaning the scum from the surface. Cook about 1 hour, then
strain.
Kubbe: Mix the filling ingredients together (raw).
Shell: Pound the ingredients together and add a little water to knead into a
smooth paste. Oil your hands and roll the shell mixture into walnut sized
balls. Hollow each ball with your finger and fill with a tsp of filling.
Close the opening by pinching together firmly. Cook: Drop the balls into
boiling Hamud broth and simmer gently for about 1 hour.

Hi Gail,
See the recipe below. I don't know how good it is, but it's a place to start.
Phaed
Mars Almond Bar Copycat
2 cup Granulated sugar
1/4 cup Light corn syrup
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp water
pinch Salt
2 Egg whites
35 Kraft caramels
2/3 cup Whole roasted almonds
24 oz Milk chocolate chips
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, 1/2
cup of the water, and the salt. Heat to boiling, then cook using a candy
thermometer to monitor the temperature. Beat the egg whites until they
are stiff and form peaks. Don't use a plastic bowl for this. When the
sugar mixture reaches 270~F, or the soft crack stage. Remove from the heat
and pour the mixture in thin streams into the egg whites, blending
completely with an electric mixer set on low. Continue to mix about 20
minutes or until the nougat begins to harden and thickens to the
consistency of dough. Mix in the almonds. Press the nougat into a greased
9 x 9 inch pan and chill until firm about 30 minutes. Melt the caramels
with the remaining 2 Tbsp. water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Pour the caramel over the nougat and return the pan to the refrigerator.
When the caramel and nougat are firm (about 30 min), slice down the middle
of the pan with a sharp knife and then slice across into 7 segments to
make a total of 14 bars. Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave for
2 minutes on half power, stirring halfway through the cooking time. Melt
completely, but be careful not to overheat. Resting the bar on a fork
(and use fingers if needed) dip each bar into the chocolate to coat
completely and tap the fork against the side of the bowl to knock off the
excess chocolate. Place on waxed paper and let cool at room temperature
until the chocolate is firm; 1-2 hours.

Hello Autumn,
There are apple pie recipes with red hots, but I cannot locate one with the
decoration that you describe, nor with canned apples.
Phaed
Apple Pie
Ingredients :
6 to 8 apples, peeled and sliced
1 c. sugar
1/2 stick margarine
1/2 to 1/4 c. red hots
Preparation :
1. Mix all ingredients. 2. Pour in unbaked pie shell and cover
with pastry strips on top. 3. Bake at 375 degrees until done.
----------------------------------
Apple Pie "Best - In - The - Country"
Ingredients :
Pastry for a double-crust pie
3/4 c. sugar
2 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/8 c. Red Hots cinnamon candies
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. salt
7 c. sliced peeled apples (Jonathon & Grimes Golden)
1 tbsp. margarine
1 tbsp. half-strength vanilla
Preparation :
Prepare your 2 pie crusts. Combine the sugar, flour, cornstarch,
Red Hots, nutmeg, and salt; mix thoroughly. In a large bowl, mix
your sliced apples with the above dry ingredients. Heap into a
pastry-lined pie pan. Dot with butter, and sprinkle with the
diluted half-strength vanilla. Add top crust, flute edges, cut
steam vents. Bake at 425 degrees for 50 minutes. You may need to
protect the fluted edges from burning with a ring of aluminum foil.
Use any type apples, but a mix of Jonathon & Grimes Golden gets the
blue ribbon. Red Hots give the pie a red blush; and vanilla seems
like you have ice cream with every bite!
