Mini Apple Pies « Apples
Would you like to know what I’ve been doing for the past two hours? Sitting in the kitchen and staring at the Mini Apple Pies I’ve just made. I LOVE the way they look… so cute, adorable and so much fun to make. And I haven’t even started talking about the way they taste – it’s left me speechless… up till now… Just try making them – your family will love you and your kids will surely be awed and remember them for quite some time. These are the ingredients: And this is how the story goes: 1. Stir with a spoon until combined (don’t use the mixer yet… unless you want to disappear in white, dusty fog forever). 2. 3. Mix for only about 30 seconds. 4. 5. Peel the apples (I am using Golden Delicious here), core them and cut them into teeny tiny dices. Place the cut apples into a bowl. 6. (What would I just be without cinnamon…? 7. 8. I am glad to inform you that now we’ve reached the apple filling perfection. Please, be stronger than me and try not to feast on this heavenly mixture at this stage. 9. 10.

Nutella Mug Cake Bring Your Child's Favorite Characters to Life with These Disney-Themed Lunches Healthy Mickey-Shaped PB&J Muffins: A Breakfast the Whole Family with Love A Yummy Instant Pot Chicken and Rice Recipe Even the Pickiest Eaters Will Love This 3-Ingredient Coffee Fudge Is the Best Morning Pick-Me-Up The Comfort of Eggs in a Basket Eggs in a basket was the first meal I ever cooked. I was in 5th grade, and it was a Sunday morning at my best friend's house after a sleepover. We woke up hungry, and for some reason his parents weren't home. This confused me--my parents would never do that--but more important than confusion was the fact that I was terribly hungry, and I didn't see how that problem was going to be solved, since his house never had any cereal in it. "We'll make eggs in a basket," my friend said, pulling out a loaf of bread, a jug of oil, and a carton of eggs. The resulting breakfast was awesome: runny yolk and crisp bread dripping with oil (we filled the skillet so much oil it was basically deep-fried). Ideally, make this with slices of toast cut thick. I guess I have a fondness for very fast and simple eggs + bread dishes, my love of "eggy bread" evidence of this, which is basically French toast without sweetness or spices. What are your go-to quick meals when hunger looms? Eggs in the Basket

Pie Pops Pie pops – a whimsical twist on a regular pie. They are tiny, they are cute, and they taste just like a bite of a nice pie. I love desserts like these. Inspired by a lovely lady called Bakerella, I knew I needed to get these pies into my life as soon as possible. Some things just need to be done immediately. To make my version of pie pops I decided to go with the recipe that I use to make my Mini Apple Pies. To make your own version, you can sure use any filling you really like. Here’s my version of the pie pops, step-by-step-by-step-by-step… by step: This is what we need. 1. 2. 3. Mix for only about 30 seconds. 4. But… oh, wait… I forgot something! Aah, now everything is alright. 5. I liked them better when they were a little more thin. 6. Dip the cutter in flour. 7. 8. 9. 10. First I thought I’d only use apple filling for my pie pops, but this filling turned out to be not enough. Jam! 10. I like them both. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Remove from the oven, let cool, and enjoy!

Slutty Brownies Now I don’t want to over sell this, so I’m going to be conservative and simply say, that these are… The Best Brownies In The WORLD. I know, big statement. They’re called Slutty Brownies because they’re oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy. They’re best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream (devastatingly I didn’t have any in the freezer this time, so I guess I’ll just have to make them again). They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. The ultimate comfort food, whipped up within the hour. You will need… 1 Box of cookie mix, 1 Box of brownie mix, 2 Eggs, 2 Packs of Oreos (double stuffed ones are even better if you can find them) Some oil & your favourite ice-cream (optional) Preheat your oven to 350F, 180C, gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with grease proof paper. Squidge (technical term) the cookie dough into a lined baking tray, until it covers the bottom. Cover this layer with your Oreos. Mix up your brownie batter. & pour over your Oreos. Bake for 30mins.

Gulpiyuri Beach - A Stange Beach in the Middle of a Meadow Tucked away into a small inland hollow, right in the middle of a meadow, Playa de Gulpiyuri is one of the most amazing beaches in the world. We’ve certainly featured some unique places here, on Oddity Central, and even a few incredible beaches, like the hot water beach of New Zealand or California’s glass beach, but none like the beach of Gulpiyuri. Located near the charming town of Llanes, on the northern coast of Spain, Gulpiyuri Beach is unlike anything I have ever seen, or even imagined existed outside of fantasy books or fictional planets. Photo: chausinho So how is it that waves form this far away from the ocean? Photo: chausinho Because it’s only 40 meters in length, and outside viewing range from the shoreline, Playa de Gulpiyuri can be pretty hard to find, unless you have an updated GPS map or ask for directions from the locals.

Better-Than-Crack-Brownies I’m sorry for doing this to you. I really am. But see, last Friday while I was on a 10-hour road trip heading for vacation, I received this recipe from a reader named Liz. Liz, I love you. I was tortured by this recipe for a full 8 days before I could make it. So it was the first thing I made when I returned home. These are an absolute sin. I really don’t have any words, other than you must try them. They may also change your waistline too. But that’s okay. It’s all in the name of chocolate. Better-Than-Crack Brownies 1 batch brownies (boxed mix or oooey gooey brownies) 1/2 cup salted peanuts (if don’t have salted, add sea salt) 1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups 1 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips 1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 1/2 tablespoon butter 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies Cereal Mix brownies according to directions, and bake for 20-25 minutes in a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Smores Pie | How Sweet It Is - StumbleUpon This may be a bit ridiculous. And it just may be one of the best desserts I’ve ever made. You might remember that last year I whipped up some mini s’mores tarts. They were fabulous, but I must have had a few screws loose. Why didn’t I just make an entire pie? Oh! I guess not. Dreams do come true! Welcome to my new favorite dessert. Pleeeeeease make this. As long as you chill it, you should get a semblance of a slice out. I might have found myself kneeling on the kitchen floor, spoon in hand and head in fridge, scooping out s’mores pie bites. And I still have the crumbs on my kitchen floor to prove it.

Food - Recipes : Jubilee bunting cake Homemade Candied Ginger | When Caitlin is out of town, I find myself thinking of fun things to make for her, to welcome her back. These are, more often than not, sweets. This time, I wanted to do something different. Early in our relationship, I had flown up to Washington, D.C. to spend the July 4th holiday with Caitlin. We had gone to the National Mall for the concert, featuring Barry Manilow, Aretha Franklin, and a host of other performers. We had gone to a Nationals game and walked around the shops of Georgetown. As we made our way through the mountains of West Virginia, I noticed that Caitlin kept snacking on something. Now, whenever I’m in the grocery store, I regularly pick up fresh and candied ginger. Given Caitlin’s love of candied ginger, I decided to make my own batch. PREP TIME: 20 minutes COOK TIME: 1 hour YIELD: 2 cups of candied ginger WHAT TO GRAB: 4 to 6 roots of fresh ginger (pick the roots with the fewest knots) 2 cups sugar 3 cups water 1. 2. 3. 4.
