oh my apple pie!

   After dressing up and celebrating Halloween on October 26th, my actual Halloween night was spent going out to dinner, and then watching Hocus Pocus. To get in the spirit of things I also made mini apple pies! I threw apples and cinnamon sugar in the crockpot for a little while and I had some leftover dough from making supper the night before. Super easy and super cute (if I do say so myself)!

I hope you all had a spook-tacular Halloween!

mini apple pie
(should make 6)

filling
2-4 apples
2 tbsp cinnamon sugar

crust
2 cup flour
4 tsp. baking power
2 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp. salt
2/3 cup milk
1tbsp melted butter

Dice apples into small cubes (no need to peel).
Toss apples in crockpot with cinnamon sugar and turn on low for a couple hours (I kinda forgot about them till 4hrs later and they turned out fine).

Combine crust ingredients (except melted butter) in a bowl, roll into a ball and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. 
After refrigerated roll the dough out and then cut into circles for the bottom pie crusts. 
Place circles into greased muffin tray then cut out desired shapes for the top crust (get creative!).

Preheat oven to 350°.
Fill the crusts with the apple filling and put desired dough shape on top. 
Brush melted butter on top.
Pop in the oven for 20 minutes or until the crusts start to turn golden.
Cool for 5 minutes.
Enjoy!!

one pan chicken alfredo

  Today was one of those days where it was hard to get motivated. Even after a shower I just wanted to sit in bed and mope around, but I forced myself to go out and pass out another resume. Since I was out I went for a walk in Bowring Park before coming home and trying out a new recipe!

Supper was a success thanks to Melissa at number-2-pencil.com and her one pan chicken alfredo (check it out here!), with a few changes. I decided to add broccoli and instead of using heavy cream I used 3/4 cup of 1% milk, (roughly) 1/4 cup butter, and some flour to thicken the sauce. Over all I think it was a success because Andrew went back for seconds and we barely had any leftovers!

**(plus some broccoli I decided to add in last minute!)

After eating and cleaning up the (very few!) dishes, we had plenty of time for a brisk walk before the sun set! I could get used to not having to spend my evening washing dishes...

Happy Thursday!!
