Autumn Pie Crust

Using my smallest cookie cutters, I put leaves and acorns along the edge of my apple pie. I just used the extra pie dough that I cut off from the edge. This is a very easy thing to do for an impressive look. You can use shapes for whatever your occasion, or use letter shapes to spell out a name or happy birthday. Since this was also for someone's birthday, I put their initial in the middle of the pie with a small heart on each side. I recommend using foil or other means to keep the edges from getting too dark, and pulling off the edge cover the last bit of cooking time so they still get a nice color.

Cream Cheese Frosting :(

I made pumpkin bars last night for an office birthday today. I didn't want to have to frost them until this morning when I got to work so they were easier to transport, so I had bought some frosting at the store. I bought Betty Crocker Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting. It looks very pretty on there but it does not TASTE like it is cream cheese frosting at all. I was very disappointed. This is the first time I had tried to buy cream cheese frosting, so I don't know if there are other brands that actually taste like they have cream cheese in them or if it is because it is "whipped". Next time I will just make my own, even if I have to put it in a separate container and frost it later.

Yummy Apple Dip

I created this apple dip in order to get my children to finish off the apples that I had sitting around. (I hate it when they get too old!) I don't have specific measurements since I just mixed stuff together. However, the kids loved it and we will make it again.
Apple Dip
Mix peanut butter and chocolate syrup together. Spread in a dish (the size depends upon how much you make. Just a cereal bowl would be fine) Drizzle caramel syrup on top. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Dip your apples and enjoy!!
