Fabulous Apple Cobbler

This Apple Cobbler is always a hit when I make it. I found the recipe here. I tend to alter it a little everytime I make it by adding some more cinnamon or flour as I see fit. It is pretty easy to make and turns out delicious every time I make it. It is often requested as well. Definitely give it a try!

Ingredients:

Peeled, cored and sliced apples- enough to fill a 9×9 baking dish half way. (I like to cut them pretty thin as I think it tastes better that way

2 tsp. vanilla (divided)

1 1/2 c sugar (divided)

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

2/3 cup melted butter

1 egg

1 c flour

1/4 tsp. baking powder

pinch of salt

1/2 c nutmeats (optional, I never put them in)

Directions:

Preheat the over to 35o degrees. Butter the 9×9 baking dish. Put enough apples into the baking dish so it is 1/2 full. Sprinkle the apples with 1 tsp vanilla. Then sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon over the apples evenly.

Combine the melted butter, egg, and the remaining vanilla. Then add 1 c sugar, flour, baking powder and salt and mix together. Pour batter evenly over the apple slices. I tend to spread it out using a spatula as well. Then bake for one hour in the oven.

Yum! Serve it warm with some ice cream and everyone will be asking for seconds!

Oreo Ball Recipe

Oreo Balls are my favorite, easy, go-to dessert to bring to people’s events. They are always a hit and they are pretty simple to make.

All you need is some Chocolate Cream Cookies. The Target brand is surprisingly pretty tasty.

Smash them. I start by hand and then use whatever tools I have to finish the job. You can use a processor. You want them pretty finely crushed.

Keep going.

Then add the cream cheese. You want to have it warmed up first as it will make it easier to mix it in.

I start mixing by hand and then I add the hand blender.

Roll them into balls. I’d say they are about an inch and a half across. Then put this in the fridge to get cold.

While the balls are in the fridge, melt the baker’s chocolate. I melt about 8 squares at a time. Drop the ball into the chocolate and cover the entire ball.

I get the ball out with a spoon (or a toothpick) and place them on the cookie tray. You can decorate with melted chocolate or sprinkles. Then once they are all covered place the sheet back in the fridge to cool. You can then pull them out and place them on a plate. Go ahead and keep them in the fridge or the freezer.

They are delicious!
