Apple Caramel Cobbler

This cobbler (which is really more of a crisp in my opinion) is a delicious twist on an old favorite. My mother-in-law passed this recipe to me along with a glowing recommendation. She is an excellent cook, so when she says something is good, I listen! I'm glad I did. This cobbler is so good! Granny Smith apples are tossed with sugar and spices, drizzled with caramel, then covered with a crispy oatmeal-brown sugar topping. It smells amazing in the oven and tastes even better. Just thinking about it is making my mouth water. Do yourself a favor and go make some!
*note: this was originally a dutch oven recipe so I've scaled it down.




Apple Caramel Cobbler

4-6 large Granny Smith apples (peeled, sliced, and cored)
1 T. Lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
1/6 cup flour
1/2 T cinnamon
1/4 plus 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/4 plus 1/8 tsp salt
1/2 jar (6 oz) caramel sauce

Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
3/4 cup quick cooking oatmeal
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup melted butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix apples and lemon juice together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients. Mix with apples and pour into greased 2 quart dish. Pour caramel over apples. In a separate bowl mix topping ingredients together with a fork until they resemble coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over apples. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before eating.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day! 

Pumpkin Spice Donuts

I love this time of year when the temperature drops and it's perfectly acceptable to make and eat all kinds of pumpkin things! I've been meaning to try my hand at cake donuts for sometime now and these pumpkin ones were calling my name.  Unlike yeast donuts that require a few rises and fry up nice and fluffy, these cake donuts come together pretty quickly (with a small chilling period) and are more dense and moist in texture. The outside gets all craggy and crispy which is perfect for collecting all the sugary glaze.  Such a delicious combo of textures and perfectly flavored with pumpkin and spices.  We loved these!! Note: I tried making a few of these in the air fryer as an experiment and was amazed at the difference in texture.  Not in a good way.  The air fryer ones were much tougher and not craggy and crispy.  So stick with frying these in oil and you won't be disappointed.
