Quick Apple Crisp

If you need a yummy dessert really quick this is  good one! Last night Joe and I wanted something tasty so I made this recipe up, kind of a quick apple crisp. However because I made it up I just kind of threw it together so I don't have exact measurements but its all just kinda how much you want. Here is the recipe if you want it...

Ingredients:
1 Apple
cinnamon
1tsp butter
caramel
2 cups granola
water

Directions:
Line a small baking dish with tin foil and spray with some non-stick spray. Slice up the apple into thin slices and spread them out in the pan. Add a few teaspoons of water. Cut up the butter into small pieces and put on the apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and then sprinkle on the granola. Drizzle with caramel and place in the oven at 450 for about 10 minutes or so until apples are soft. Serves 2. Enjoy! :)

Peanut Butter, Oatmeal and Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made some yummy cookies tonight for some of our friends and neighbors that have helped us so much during our move and with our arrival of little Madelyn. These cookies are a really dry dough so you have to use your hands to shape them. They also don't really flatten out so I took a scoop of the dough and made a ball and then smashed it down to make them have a more cookie appearance. The only thing I did different was I used all white flour.
