McDonald's Copycat Hot Apple Pies If you love the apple pies from McDonald's, you will like this copycat recipe that you can make at home. They are super flaky and crispy.

Homemade Applesauce My homemade applesauce recipe is so simple to make, and it creates an incredible aroma in the kitchen, and tastes much better than any you buy in the store.

An applesauce that is wholesome and delicious at the same time, made with only four ingredients, served in individual portion-control containers.

I used a variety of apples, including Granny Smith and Gala, in this recipe. I cooked the applesauce on the s...

Roasted Bacon and Sage Wrapped Peaches ~ Celebrating the End of Peach Season
Roasted Bacon and Sage Wrapped Peaches, a delightful appetizer or snack that will wow your Southern guest. There are only four ingredients, bacon, sage, and luscious peaches drizzled with a balsamic honey vinegar. The perfect dish to celebrate the end of the peach season. I have been wanting to make these roasted peaches for some time and never wanted to heat the oven long enough for them to cook.
