Recipe: Autumn Apple Cookies
My kids have been under the weather and everyone has been feeling a little low. I wanted to make a treat to bring up the general household spirit, but a quick rummage through the kitchen (and the knowledge that tomorrow is my grocery day!) determined that I had precious little to work with. Among other things, I found a couple of apples and some nuts. Throw that together with some basic baking supplies and Autumn Apple Cookies were born.
Sweet and a little bit fluffy, they hit the spot and made everyone feel just a tiny bit better!

Oh, that sounds yummy! I love improvising recipes like that. Hope it comes out okay!
Heh. I felt like making something for dessert, but my friend’s pantry is really bare. So I made a modified berry crisp – I used frozen berries I found in their freezer, and pancake syrup instead of sugar
It’s in the oven right now…i hope it comes out okay.
