    Grown Up Pop Tarts

    October 13, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Must be 21 to eat these. So if you follow the blog, you may have noticed the Apple Cider Donut Holes stuffed with three different filling flavors. Well, they were delicious.  Yet three mostly filled pastry bags of delightful and flavor packed fillings still sat in my fridge this morning. Genius hit at 5:30 am while my two year old refused to sleep- pop tarts!! This pie dough tart is stuffed with Apple Pie Filling and Salted Caramel then frosted with Maple Whiskey Buttercream before being drizzled with the Salted Caramel Sauce again. Yep, you’re welcome.  peace and xo,   jenni Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share…

    The Only Pie Dough Recipe You’ll Ever Need

    February 17, 2020 / 0 Comments

    I have used this pie dough for over 20 years with a few simple tweaks here and there. I think I found the “un-tweaked” original recipe in a cookie magazine. But it’s how you use the ingredients makes all the difference.  Do yourself a favor and don’t limit this recipe to your usual pies. I use it for savory chicken pot pies (use less sugar) or my kids’ favorite- homemade pop tarts!  Ingredients 2 1/4 cup flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 1 cup cold, unsalted butter 7-10 T cold water Mix together the flour, sugar and salt. Cut the butter into 1/4″ cubes. Use a pastry cutter or…
