Taffy Apple Tartlets

With fall in the air, I love to make anything with apples. I made these fun little tartlets for a Halloween activity we had. These are fun to make, cute and best of all very tasty! When I makes these for my family we like to serve them hot out of the oven with a scoop of ice cream. This time I added mini chocolate chips to the top when I took them out of the oven for a twist!




Taffy Apple Tartlets
adapted from Pampered Chef Cookbook

1/4 cup chopped peanuts
2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled
3/4 cup butterscotch caramel sauce
2 Tbsp flour
1 pkg pie crust
12 caramels, unwrapped
(I like the little caramel bits by the chocolate chips. I add 3 of those to eat tartlet, must faster and they melt better. If not I add caramel topping to the bottom of the tartlet, about 1/2 tsp)

Heat oven to 400 degress.

Chop peanuts; set aside. Peel and coarsely chop apples. Combine apples, 1/2 cup of caramel sauce and flour in bowl; mix well. Microwave 5-6 minutes or until bubbling and thickened; stir and set aside.

Meanwhile, unroll one pie crust onto lightly floured cutting board. Spacing closely together, cut 12 small disks from crust. Press disks into wells of mini-muffin pan, ruffling edges. Repeat with remaining crust. Cut caramels in half; place one piece into each tart shell. Spoon apple mixture into tart shells; sprinkle with peanuts. Bake 14-16 minutes or until edges of tartlets are golden brown.

Remove tartlets from pan to cooling rack. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup caramel sauce. Serve warm.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

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!

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
