Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars
These Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars are the most popular recipe on my blog and have been pinned over 1 million times. These creamy cheesecake bars start with a shortbread crust, a thick cheesecake layer, and are topped with diced cinnamon apples and a sweet streusel topping. I can’t believe it’s the end of September and I haven’t posted any apple desserts yet. For me, September is all about the apple! I’ve been making this Paula Deen recipe for a couple of years now and they’ve always been good but they always needed a little more cheesecake filling in my opinion to match the thick crust and ample streusel topping. You can add the caramel on top of the caramel apple cheesecake bars right before serving or before you chill them. Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars Ingredients Crust: 2 cups all-purpose flour ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened Cheesecake Filling: Apples: Streusel Topping: Drizzle: ½ cup caramel topping for drizzling after baked Instructions

Parisian Fruit Tarts - Invite a Blogger to your Table For Mother's Day my three kids were home for Dinner. We had a delicious Penna Alla Vodka with garlic bread. For desserts we had Parisian Fruit Tarts from The Modern Baker. I purchased this cookbook a while ago and it was the first time that I was baking from it. To make the tarts you prepare a press-in cookie dough. This was the easiest crust that I have ever made for a tart. This recipe is for the event Invite a Blogger to your Table. Sablés Sachets de Thé A Devorer: Tea Boogies A défaut du mercredi que je rate désespérément depuis pratiquement le début de la rubrique, je profite d'un moment de calme relatif pour vous parler enfin de ces petits sablés ultra originaux, tellement gourmands et insolites que je regrette presque de ne pas en avoir eu l'idée la première!! Ces sablés découverts dans la trattoria de Martina sont nés de la créativité débordante de Kim le jour où en remarquant dans une dînette des petits sachets de thé en bois, elle a imaginé les reproduire version biscuits trempés dans du chocolat. Et voilà le résultat: des sablés fondants légèrement citronnés enrichis d'une fine couche de chocolat noir, délicieux et esthétiquement bluffants. Pour la base, j'ai choisi une pâte à shortbreads pour son côté fondant que j'ai parfumée au citron pour apporter de la fraîcheur et casser le côté intense du chocolat mais toutes les portes sont ouvertes pour combler vos goûts: pâte sablée classique ou aux amandes, café, orange, vanille, cardamome... ...

Quick & Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie For the longest time my quick, go-to Chicken Pot Pie recipe involved canned cream of chicken soup and a homemade biscuit topping. I’m *trying* to stay away from processed foods and to feed my family more naturally, so I came up with this recipe. Which, in my mind, tastes way better then the original anyways. I simplified it with an even easier biscuit topping, using the homemade bisquick mix that I always keep on hand in my fridge. This would be a perfect way to use up any Thanksgiving leftovers whether that be turkey, ham or vegetables. How are you going to be using up those Thanksgiving leftovers? Quick & Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients Filling 2 cups chopped cooked chicken (or turkey, or ham)2 cups leftover, fresh or frozen vegetables Cheese Sauce 2 tablespoons butter2 tablespoons flour1 cup chicken brothsalt & pepper to taste1 cup shredded cheese Biscuit Topping 1 cup biscuit mix (homemade biscuit mix*)½ cup grated cheese⅓ cup milk Instructions *Here is the recipe for homemade biscuit mix.

Oreo Cheesecake Cookies » Table for Two Oreo cheesecake cookies with hidden mini chocolate chips and encrusted with Oreo cookie crumbs I’ve been on some kind of weird shoe kick lately. I mean, they say a girl can’t have too many pairs of shoes, but I shouldn’t really fall into that category because the only pairs of shoes you can see on me on a regular basis are my black $5 Old Navy flip flops. I’m like a shoe fiend lately because do you know how hard it is to find the perfect purple shoe? Long story, short: I bought 3 pairs of platform wedges at Target this past weekend. I’m a tad bit worried because those wedges are SEXY. Oh, and I still have not found “the shoes” for my wedding. Ok, so these cookies. Oreo Cheesecake Cookies Author: Julie Wampler Recipe type: Dessert, Cookies Prep time: Cook time: Total time: Serves: 12-15 cookies Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies until they’re fine crumbs.

Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Breakfast Cookies You read that right. Breakfast cookies. I am not above eating desserts for breakfast. Actually I think it’s a proven fact that a slice of cake tastes best with a cup of coffee at 8 a.m…am I right or am I right? Don’t answer, I’m right. So today I am not only making it ok to eat cookies for breakfast, I am encouraging it. Don’t let labels keep you boxed it. “Breakfast” doesn’t mean “eggs and bacon” or “Cheerios”…I’m pretty sure the literal translation means “eat cookies in the morning” …don’t argue. So let’s do this. Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Breakfast Cookies for everyone! You’ll only need a few ingredients for these yummies. I love Crescent Rolls and that’s where these cookies begin. If you can’t find the seamless, no worries, just roll out a regular can and don’t separate them. Unroll the sheet of dough and stretch it out so it’s evenly rectangular. Mix up some softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla and then spread it over your dough. and roll it up. Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet.
