Perfect Fall Dessert and So Easy To Make

I love fall time. Pulling out favorite sweaters, starting a fire in the fireplace, and eating lots of comfort foot. This classic apple dessert is among my very favorite fall recipes. It combines apples, caramel and oats. Our neighbors had an apple tree and I loved getting apples from her. One year the tree was so full of apples that she told everyone she knew if they wanted apples they should come and get them before the deer ate them up. I made sure to head over and Could not believe how the branches were just drooping under the weight of all the fruit.

Since we lived in the Sierra mountains, the apples needed to be a variety that could withstand frost. They were Arkansas Blacks, and let me tell you, those apples were so hard it was almost impossible to take a bite out of them. Not like the Pink Lady of Honey Crisp Apples. These were super hard and kind of tart, but they made the best pies and crisps. They might have taken a little extra work but we ended up gathering about 2 laundry baskets full!

This is what Lauren has to say about her Applicious dessert.

“My traditional apple crisp recipe has received rave reviews, and this Caramel Pecan Apple Crisp takes my old favorite to a whole new level! “

What Could Be More American than Apple Pie!

I grew up living near a place called Apple Hill. There were farms that had been in families for generations. You could get fresh pressed cider, caramel dipped apples, apple pies and tons of other apple or pear inspired goodies. Plus, there were bins upon bins of a huge variety of apples.

When I was a teenager I was able to get a job at one of the orchards. I served a lot of pie. Every Sunday night before we would head for home my parents would buy a big box of apples for us to eat during the week. I learned early on that apples were amazing fruit to eat and cook with and would go through the Apple Hill cookbook, trying new recipes. For the longest time, I stuck to the Apple muffins and cake. My mom was the best pie maker in the family. Her crusts were always perfect so I never tried my hand at pie baking.

I felt like anything I made would be only a second-class dessert so just stuck with what I felt comfortable with. A few years ago, I had a bunch of apples and for some reason the thought of those perfect pies just stuck in my head. I lived miles and miles from Apple Hill, but the thought of the perfect wedges caused me to rethink my apprehension of crust making. So, I did it! I looked up a perfect recipe, followed it, and BAM! The best pie ever came out of my oven, and let me tell you, if I can make a perfect pie, you can too!

This is what All Recipes.com has to say about this recipe.

“This was my grandmother’s apple pie recipe. I have never seen another one quite like it. It will always be my favorite and has won me several first-place prizes in local competitions. I hope it becomes one of your favorites as well!”

Quick Tip: Use good crisp baking apples like a Granny Smith, Arkansas Black, Honey Crisp.

Bring On The Chili Weather!  Pun Intended

What is a busy mom to do when dinner time rolls around and EVERYONE is hungry? Well, try this dish and watch your family eat it up. I love a hearty meal that you can create in a hurry and with simple, yet hardy ingredients. Really, it comes down to just taking a few moments to sauté the onions and fresh garlic before adding in the carrots, browning the beef and adding the pinto beans. Really, this is the perfect comfort dish that reminds me of my husband’s favorite food. Chili beans and cornbread. Seriously, he could eat it every week if I made it for him. The fact that this cornbread is baked right on top means no more dry cornbread for my family!  I love the fact that this is cooked in one dish, which means the clean-up is fairly minimal.  So, whether you are looking to take something to a cabin or just want a hearty Game Day Dinner, this Cornbread Chili Pie is a perfect dish.

And for more of a Southwest flavor go ahead and add in some diced fire roasted hatch chilis and a can of corn.  That really helps to stretch this dish out and if you are lucky, you might even have some for left overs.

Quick Tip: Want to make this for a crowd? Go ahead and divide into individual ramekins with a dollop of sour cream and sprig of cilantro on top.

When Opened My Aunt’s Cookbook, This Was The First Recipe I Turned To

I am a huge coconut fan. Since my dad never really cared for coconut and one of my sons ins’t a big fan of it either I tend to shy away from making anything with coconut in it.

But you know what?  Sometimes you just have to give in to your cravings and treat yourself. I have a group of friends that meet every year.

We lovingly refer to ourselves as the Sycamore Sisters since we all met at a writers retreat and room together in the Sycamore cabin. During the day we are busy taking classes or meeting with editors but at night, we get into our PJ’s and have a regular gab fest that involves a lot of snacks, talking, and so much laughing I am pretty sure we have developed quite a reputation for late night raucous.

We have also had several years of getting to know each other, our families. We have helped each other grow as writers, and been there for each other in the disappointing times as well. This year I am going to bring something special to snack on. I am making up a batch of these yummy bars to share with those who have made my life sweeter.

This is what Anna has to say about her recipe.

“These bars were disappearing fast right before my eyes. My Hubby, who is not a coconut fan at all, declared these to be absolutely amazing. He loves cheesecake as much as I do, but he actually really loved these! That says a lot!”

Quick Tip: To add just a bit of color, drizzle a little dark chocolate on top.

Grab Four Favorite Sweater And Cozy Up TO This Cupcake

I grew up not far from a place called Apple Hill. I love anything made with apples and that includes apple butter. My oldest son is a huge lover of the brown spicy apple goodness. I think it was from remembering how the house smelled when I would have a huge crock-pot of peeled, sliced, and cooking apples mixed with cinnamon and nutmeg. I used to cook it for about three days. The house smelled so amazing! The taste was even more incredible.

Nathan asked if he brought me the apples me would I make apple butter. I totally agreed. At the time Nathan was working for a man with a few trees. . He told Nathan he could have as many apples as he wanted if he picked them.  Later that day I came into the house to find 4 laundry baskets of apples. Let’s just say we ate a lot of apple butter that year: ~D

This is what Nicole has to say about her recipe.

“Spiced Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting are the perfect Fall dessert! This easy recipe is great for parties and meals. A very special secret ingredient adds a blast of flavor!”

Quick Tip: You can also make this recipe into 2 8 inch round cake pans for a layered cake. I think that is what I want for my birthday!

Move Over Betty Crocker, There Is a New Cookie In Town

I have been an avid cookie baker from the time I was first married. I loved being able to fill up the cookie jar and be able to send freshly baked goods in everyone’s lunches.

I guess I grew up with that. My mom always had treats baked and my grandma always had a cookie jar PLUS a secret stash of cookies in case the jar was empty.

One summer, when my sister and I were staying with her, we found the stash. She worked during the day, leaving us to spend the afternoons swimming and playing at the lake they lived on. What a life! Anyway, around 2 in the afternoon we would get a bit hungry for something in the snack category. Over the course of two weeks, we ate all the stashed cookies. YIKES! We knew that my grandma was going to find out sooner rather than later so one afternoon after she left for work, we walked a mile into town and thankfully found the exact kind of cookies we had already eaten. By the time my grandma got home that evening we had covered out cookie thieving tracks.

I think these cookies would have been much better than the store bought ones we ended up purchasing. They would have blown our cover, but what can I say, sometimes that’s just how the cookie crumbles.

This is what Dragana has to say about her recipe.

“These cookies with cream cheese and mini chocolate chips simply melt in your mouth. Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies are simple, light and delicious ♥”

Quick Tip: These cookies are not super sweet so you may want to add a little extra sugar.
