Apple Pie Bars

categories: Desserts, Recipes

This year the apple tree at my mother-in-laws house had a bumper crop of apples on it. We were amazed by how many apples this one tree produced. On a sunny Saturday afternoon in September we picked over 400 apples, which left me looking for a great recipe to use up my bags of apples.

After a few days of thinking about what I wanted to bake, I decided to make apple pie bars with a crumble top. I started experimenting with different ideas for the recipe, and I had plenty of apples to test it out. To help me clean up some of the extra food from my experiments, I had to take on a new helper/recipe tester at Cooking Up Cottage. He’s exceptional at cleaning up dirty plates and cleaning up any food that may fall on the floor. His name is Butterscotch. You can tell from the picture below he’s a big fan of my cooking. If you have a bunch of apples and you want to make something great, try this delicious apple pie bar recipe. It will feed a crowd of people, and it will amaze anybody who loves apple pies. Start by peeling and slicing 12 medium apples. Now add 1 1/3 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of flour, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the apples.

Now remove the two pie crusts from the box and stack the crusts on top of each other. Then roll out to fit a 10 in x 15 in jelly roll pan.Now fit the crust into the 10 in x 15 in jelly roll pan and crimp the edge of the crust.

Pour the apple mixture into the crust.

Now mix the crumble topping in a bowl. Mix 1/2 cup of softened butter with 3/4 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 cup of brown sugar.

Pour the topping on the apples.

Bake the bars in a 375 degree oven for 50-60 minutes or until the pie is golden brown. Store the leftover bars in the refrigerator. Now you are ready to enjoy this wonderful bar this holiday season.

Strawberry Fluff Salad

categories: Recipes, Salads

Are you having a 4th of July party this year? If the answer is yes then you need to try this fun, light, and fluffy salad. It will satisfy your party guests with its sweet flavor and heavenly fresh strawberries. And it’s so simple to make with four ingredients that it won’t keep you from your party and the fireworks.

When I was creating this recipe I had an idea that it would be great served over angel food cake with blueberries and strawberries for the 4th of July. Well trust me, though it tasted delicious…it was a visual disaster!

So I had some leftover topping in my refrigerator after the experiment and since it tasted so good I thought it was worth a little tweaking. I added marshmallows, left out the blueberries, and viola this salad (come on, who are we kidding, desert, right?) was created.

So let’s get started whipping up this fun salad. Start by making a 3 oz. package strawberry Jello according to the package directions. Place bowl of Jello in the refrigerator for about an hour or until thickened but not set. While you are waiting for the Jello to be ready you can clean and chop up the 1 pint of strawberries.

Then when the Jello is ready after an hour then mix it in a bowl with an 8 oz. container of Cool Whip that has been thawed in the refrigerator.

Next fold in the chopped strawberries.

Then add in 2 cups of miniature marshmallows.

Now chill the salad for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator. Now you are ready to enjoy this salad at your 4th of July party.

Seven Layer Bars

categories: cookies, Desserts, Recipes

Happy New Year’s Eve! Today I have the perfect bar to ring in the new year. Most of you have already heard of seven layer bars, they are quite famous in their deliciousness. This desert has a wonderful candy bar consistency, with its rich chocolate, delectable butterscotch, toasted coconut, and crumbly graham cracker crust; no one can resist this bar. They are the perfect addition to your New Year’s Eve party and they are so simple to make. As their name suggests, you just layer the ingredients and that’s it and when they are done baking, you have a full pan of candy bar awesomeness! So if you are looking for that last-minute treat for your New Year’s Eve guests, whip up a batch of seven layer bars. If you have too many bars (like that’s even possible!) just freeze the extras.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then pour 1/2 cup of melted butter into a 9×13 inch pan.

Crush 2 cups of graham crackers in a plastic bag.

Pour the 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs on the butter in the pan.

Layer 1 cup of butterscotch chips on the graham cracker layer.

Then add the 3/4 of a cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Then sprinkle on the 1 cup of coconut.

Then pour 1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk.

Bake 25-30 minutes. Check the bars after 20 minutes to see if they are almost done. I baked mine 25 minutes and they were done just perfectly.

Now you can let them cool and then cut into squares.
