Tasty Tuesday | Homemade Applesauce

If you’ve read any of my food posts before, you know that while I LOVE to cook/bake, I’m a huge fan of easy + semi-homemade recipes. Particularly ones with few ingredients + minimal work!

Today, I want to share one of them with you. It requires 4 ingredients and essentially has only 2 steps…

RECIPE | Apple Crisp Pie

I love traditions, my family has quite a few of them — but in recent years, I’ve started to create my own. Just small things that I look forward to doing or making by myself each year…and this recipe has become one of them.

I basically combined my favorite parts of two traditional Fall desserts to create the most delicious thing ever…

[RECIPE] S’mores Bars

Have you ever seen something so amazing on Pinterest that you CANNOT stop thinking about it? Well, the idea of s’mores bars have been consuming my thoughts for the last week.

Over the weekend, I decided to try making my own (following the recipe from Imitation by Designs) & I must admit, unlike many of my Pinterest-fails…these were pretty darn incredible!

What you’ll need:

The original recipe called for an 8″ x 8″ baking dish, but I used a 9″ x 13″ [which worked just fine]

1 stick [or 1/2 cup] salted butter, room temp
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 king-sized Hersey Bars [original called for 2, but I needed 3 for my larger dish]
1 1/2 cups fluff

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease pan & set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla, beating until combined.  In another bowl combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt.  Add the dry ingredients little at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Spread half of batter into pan.  Lay Hershey bars on top and lightly press into dough.  Spread marshmallow fluff over chocolate bars.  Take small pieces of remaining dough, flatten into discs and place on top.
  4. Bake 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned.
