Bite Size Apple Pie

Here is the recipe she posted:

Ingredients:

1 can of refrigerator biscuits (10 count)
1 apple (they called for Granny Smith but I used Fuji) peeled & finely chopped
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
2.5 Tablespoons butter
**additional 1/4 cup raisins- if desired (I didn't desire them!)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Spray muffin cups with cooking spray
3. Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a 3-4 inch circle
4. Combine apples with any other fruit (I only used apples but this is where you'd add cranberries, raisins, etc)
5. Add sugar, cinnamon, & nutmeg
6. Place 1 tablespoon of mixture onto each biscuit
7. Dot each with a small pat of butter
8. Bring up the sides of the biscuit to enclose the filling. Pinch & twist the top to seal.
9. Place in greased baking cups
10. Bake for 13 minutes or until golden brown

Chocolate Chip Scones

Never in my life have I had a scone before. I never really had a desire to have one until I saw that Jennifer over at The Francis Family had them back in January. I just had to make them for myself and try them out. I feel in love with them. My husband on the other hand wasn't very thrilled with them.

Chocolate Chip Scones

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup white sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 stick unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup orange juice





Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. With a pastry blender or a large fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips. Mix in the orange juice to form a dough.

Turn out the dough on a floured surface. Pat or roll into a 9 inch circle about 1/2 inch thick. With a 2 1/2 inch fluted biscuit cutter, cut out 12 scones, pushing the dough scraps together for the last few, if necessary. Transfer the scones to the baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Move to wire racks to cool.

Red Velvet Cake

Red Velvet Cake

Yes this is just a box cake and frosting out of a can. But I mixed it up with adding hersey kisses in the middle. It helped to level out the cakes when I stacked them.
