Yummy!!!!

Ok, I'm sure that many of you have heard of The Pioneer Woman.  If you haven't then you really must head on over to her site.  She's an amazing lady!!!! Her blog is called Confessions of a Pioneer Woman and I just love reading her posts.


I have stopped by her blog numerous times but it wasn't until last week when we were away on vacation and visiting some family that I had a chance to look through her cookbooks!!  oh my goodness!! They are amazing.  And her photography is throughout her cookbooks.  I'm definitely asking for a book for christmas because I didn't want to put them down.  Her writing is so inviting and captivating that I just didn't want to stop reading.

So the other day I was looking through some recipes on her site and came across this one called "Dreamy Apply Pie".  My folks were coming over for dinner and I wanted to make a dessert so I decided to make this.
Now beware, this is not your typical apple pie.  This is intoxication-divine in a pie plate!!!  Oh my!

Here's my pie.


My daughter could hardly wait for the pie to cool off just a bit. She was so excited to eat a piece!


I usually make my own pie crust but I thought I'd try out the recipe that Ree raved about and I'm glad I did because it was wonderful. (thanks Sylvia!)

I also made the "Hard Sauce" which was incredible. (yes, I confess, I licked the spoon many times.  Oh who am I kidding ... I poked my finger in that bowl over & over!) Trust me ... you'll wanna put this on everything!!
(Ree's may have looked smoother & swirly-like but I'm pretty sure that it tasted the same!!)



So, I'm putting this on my wish list for Christmas.

(keeping my fingers crossed ... although I might have to find it before then! LOL!)
