Ingredients Needed to Make Oatmeal Apple Cookies: 

(scroll down for complete recipe with measurements) 

• brown sugar
• butter, I use salted butter for everything 
• eggs
• vanilla 
• salt
• baking powder
• baking soda 
• cinnamon
• flour
• rolled oats 
• apples – peeled, cored, and chopped – any kind will work except maybe not Granny Smith 

How to Make the Cookies:

• Cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy 
• Add the eggs and vanilla and beat
• Add the dry ingredients and mix
• Add the chopped apples and mix just to combine
• Bake in 350 degrees preheated oven for about 14 minutes. You want the top of the cookie set and the edges brown.

Keep in mind that these cookies have apples which contain moisture so they will become a little soggy the next day. They are best enjoyed the day they’re made but you can store them in an airtight container for a couple days. Some suggest adding a slice of white bread to the container and it’s supposed to help the cookies not get soggy. 

This cookie is a great way to enjoy an apple treat and to add some creativity to your cookie lineup.

This Dutch baby German pancake only has six simple ingredients plus the apple and cinnamon. It has no sugar! It’s a great way to eat your eggs. 

• Butter
• eggs
• milk
• flour 
• vanilla extract
• salt 
• apples
• cinnamon 

You can make this Dutch baby plain by omitting the apples and cinnamon and it’s absolutely delicious. But in the fall, I enjoy adding the apples and cinnamon to add some warmth and flavor to the dish. 

Just put the butter and apples in the skillet and let it cook as the oven preheats. Throw the rest of the ingredients a blender and mix. Pour over the apples in the hot skillet and bake for 20 minutes. 
We like to eat it with powdered sugar and maple syrup. Enjoy!

This cranberry apple pie is the perfect Christmas pie! Filled with all the quintessential flavors and spices, it’s as beautiful to look at as it tastes in your mouth. Apples, cranberries, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. Mmmm! I look forward to this pie all year and the Christmas season isn’t complete until I’ve had a piece with a cup of hot coffee.

This delicious pie starts with a good pie crust. Here is my pie crust recipe. It’s been handed down to me from my mother who got it from my grandmother. It’s simply the best! 

I use shortening to make this crust recipe and the results are amazing. But you can substitute it for butter or lard. 

Ingredients needed to bake this pie:

• apples
• fresh cranberries 
• orange zest 
• sugar
• cornstarch
• cinnamon
• allspice
• ground cloves 
• ground nutmeg
• butter – I always use salted butter 
• two pie crusts 
• milk and sugar – for the top of the crust 

How to make this delicious pie:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a bowl stir together the apples, cranberries, orange zest, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg and let sit while you prepare the crust.
3. Place one pie crust in bottom of pie pan and spoon the apple mixture into the crust.
4. Dot the filling with the 2 tablespoons butter.
5. Top the pie with the second crust. Cut slits in the crust to allow steam to escape while baking. Crimp edges.
6. Lightly brush top of pie with milk and sprinkle sugar on top.
7. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes and then at 375 for 30 minutes or until lightly brown.

I hope y’all enjoy this Christmas pie as much as I do! Of course you can eat this pie anytime of year, not just at Christmastime. 😁
