Of course after our conversation I had to make a pie. So I used what I had on hand... graham cracker crumbs, butter, apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and leftover caramel sauce.
I made my graham cracker crust and let it cool. Once it cooled down a bit and hardened, I added caramel sauce and attempted to spread it over the crust (I say attempted since it was so thick!).
Next, I made my apple filling.... peeled and cut apples, water, sugar, and a bit of corn starch to thicken it up. Then I sprinkled some cinnamon and nutmeg in the apple mixture as it softened.
Once it was done, I poured the apple mixture into the pie crust and let it cool for a few hours.
It was SO good and definitely fulfilled my pie craving!
I also made up some cookies recently for Adam. Again, I used what I had on hand and tried to make them Christmas-y. I came up with White Chocolate-Cranberry-Oatmeal cookies (get it? red and white?!?). They turned out super soft and I may be addicted to them...
I have two days off starting tomorrow so I'm going to make up some more Christmas cookies. I have lots of ideas, but we'll see how much I actually get done!
