Autumn Tastiness

Hey everyone. Did you miss me? Did you think i fell off the face of the earth? Well, i am back!!

Today I made some yummy desserts, if i do say so myself, for one of my favorite son-in-laws birthday!!!! I was going to make him dinner as well, but i got turned down for a date with his wonderful wife...my favorite daughter. So i fed the kids and then had them all back for dessert.

This is my old family recipe for Apple Oatmeal Crisp and a new one from Sondra Lee's magazine called Butterscotch Bread Pudding. You should definitely give one of these a try. The Apple Oatmeal Crisp is perfect family comfort food. And perfect for a cool fall night.

Apple Oatmeal Crisp

4-5 Apples,medium/tart, peeled and sliced
3/4 c Brown Sugar
3/4 c. Rolled Oats
1/2 c. Flour
1 t. Cinnamon
1/2 c. Butter, 1 stick

Spread sliced apples in a greased 9 inch pie plate, or similar...set aside. Mix oats, sugar, flour and cinnamon. cut in butter with fork or pastry cutter. Sprinkle evenly over apples. Bake in pre-heated 350 oven for 35-45 minutes until apples are tender and topping is crisp and brown. Serve warm, if desired top with ice cream.

Enjoy! Guest blogged by Leslie as Me.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

So today was mom and dad's 38th anniversary. I decided that I would make them dessert.

I must be the slowest baker in the world. it said prep time 40 min, and it took me an hour and a half to prepare it all. The recipe is half of a Paula Deen recipe. What do I mean by half you say??? well I only followed the instructions for the filling. I decided against making the dough from scratch and I bought it. If I made the dough, the pie would probably still be in the oven.
