Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving!
What a perrrfect time for togetherness & baking! My annual Thanksgiving signature: Apple Pie.
Tried making a new recipe this time and it was DELISH! The key was turning the brown sugar mixture into a sauce, essentially a caramel sauce, and mixing it in with the apples. Then, after arranging the lattice top-crust, I poured more of the sauce over the top. Yummm. Perfectly sweet and amazing topped with vanilla ice cream (or frozen yogurt). No leftovers, which was sad, but at least that means it was enjoyed by my loving family! :)



On Friday I made these peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, in the spirit of giving of course, for my two brothers to bring back to college with them! I brought some back to DC with me for my roommates too!


Next post: December!! Christmas cookies here I come!

Apple Pie!

Alright, I am definitely going out of order in my posts here, but I couldn't leave this out!
This is the apple pie I made for Thanksgiving this year at my family's Thanksgiving dinner. It has no filler (like tapioca or anything like that), which makes for a fresh, appley pie in a flaky homemade crust.

Make it every Fall, at least for Thanksgiving! I can made it anytime though!

I also made it this year for the RHA "Thanksgiving Dinner Meeting!" :)
