I have a bit more to report on The Sound of Music movie extravaganza my wife hosted, but I've decided to give everyone a break. Every single day can't be filled with liters of beer, hearty helpings of goulash, scenic views from the Alps, and frolicking Van Trapps. It's time to return to reality.
I shouldn't post today's entry for two reasons: First, my photo of this recipe resembles something you'd find in a kitty litter box. Second, the recipe betrays the slow food philosophy I strive to adhere to in the kitchen.
Despite all of this, I'm a realist. Sometimes I need to reach for a recipe that is quick, satisfies my craving, and allows me to get back to the 2nd half of the college football game I'm currently watching.
I present to you Baked Snickers and Apples:
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Peel, core, and slice a couple of apples.
- Layer the apples in a small baking dish.
- Chop a Snickers bar.
- Sprinkle the Snickers bar over the apples.
- Bake until the chocolate and caramel is melted
I feel dirty. This weekend I'll reclaim my culinary credibility by making the Apple-Almond Braid over at Simmer Till Done.
Keep your skillet good and greasy,

PS . . . I'd like to thank Hollyce for the recipe.
That's a great idea for left over apples from apple picking (if you live in an apple picking region.) I like real baked goods too, but when you accidentally pick what seems like a billion pounds of apples, you get real tired of making apple pie long before the apples run out.
ReplyDeleteI think brown food is the hardest to photograph so that it looks somewhat tasty, not scary or kitty litterish. I feel your angst.
ReplyDeleteNice recipe. My grandsons will L-O-V-E it. I'll let you know.

I might be in love with mac and cheese pancakes!
So, apple braid, or more melted Snickers?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding - that is one easy and yummy dessert!
Kate - Thanks for your comments. I felt guilty about posting the recipe. I'm with you - real baked goods are the way to go, but sometimes it's OK to be a slacker.
ReplyDeleteNella - I hope your grandsons enjoy it.
Steve - This Kenny Shopsin sounds like a character. I'm in his corner when it comes to kickin' customers out who talk on cellphones. I'll need to look for his new cookbook.
Marilyn - I know. It's a terrible recipe really, but my trailer park roots caused me to gravitate towards it.
