Applesauce Turnovers - Super Easy



Sometimes don't you just get a hankering for something sweet?  I definitely do!  And sometimes I'm not all fired up about making a complicated recipe but that doesn't take away from the fact that I would like something hot, sweet and yummy!

The other night I decided to throw caution to the wind (ha!) and throw a few things together.  Pie crust is always a good thing, rigth?  Applesauce is already great, right?  Put the two together and - bazinga!  You've got dessert.

Why hadn't I thought of this earlier?  Who needs all of that peeling, dicing, and sugaring?  Applesauce is already diced, chopped, and sweetened.  I had a premade pie crust leftover and lounging in the fridge after Thanksgiving.  I already had some homemade, canned applesauce in my pantry (although any applesauce would be perfectly fine - I just happened to have my own canned applesauce).  Together they made a fast, simple, and super delicious sweet treat!

After eating these little yummies, my daughter and I decided they were similar to poptarts, but better for you.  We think we'll try some different combinations next time.  Possibly chocolate chips, jam, a mixture of brownsugar cinnamon, cherry pie filling.  I would say that if you have some pie crust already made, or can mix some together, you would pretty much always have something you could "turn" into these turnovers!

Here's how I made Applesauce Turnovers AT HOME MY WAY:
 
 
Applesauce Turnovers
 
  • Premade pie crust (cold from the fridge is fine)
  • Prepared applesauce
  • Cinnamon/sugar (just for sprinkling), plain sugar would work fine.
 
Directions:  Preheat oven to 350Ā°.  Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or lightly oil (very lightly).  Cut the pie crust in fourths.  Spoon about 2 Tablespoons applesauce on each section of crust.  Fold over, pinching to seal.  Sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon/sugar mixture.
 
Bake until golden brown.  (10-12 minutes).  Cool before eating.ļ»æ

Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Claussen) (Easy - no canning!)

Do you want to make the best, easiest homemade dill pickles in the world?   I found a recipe for dill pickles that tastes JUST LIKE Claussen refrigerator pickles.  Those are the best anyway, right?  That crunch, the dill and the garlic... and oh yea , the crunch!  This recipe is super easy because you  don't have to process these pickles which means there is no canning needed.   You just fill a gallon jar (we use an old pickle jar) with fresh cucumbers and dill heads, and then pour over the cooled liquids/seasonings.   Let it sit on the counter for three days, and then refrigerate.  After that, the pickle eating begins. They are supposed to keep for one year like that in the fridge, without canning.  (We let them sit for the 3 days, then refrigerated them overnight before opening the jar for the much anticipated first taste. Did they taste like Claussen?  YOU BET YOUR PRETTY PICKLE THEY DID!  We were all SO ex...

Buttermilk Biscuits - Just like Cracker Barrel!

RECIPES AT THE TOP - CHIT CHAT AT THE BOTTOM! Here's how we make Buttermilk Biscuits AT HOME MY WAY: Buttermilk Biscuits (just like Cracker Barrel) (Makes about 8 biscuits.) PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE Ingredients: 2 cups SELF RISING flour  (self rising flour gives the perfect taste to homemade biscuits) 1/3 cup shortening  (cold real butter also works here) 1 1/4 cup buttermilk*  *NOTE:  (If using regular milk combined with lemon juice vinegar referenced below, you only need 1 cup of milk because thinner regular milk uses less by volume than the thick real buttermilk.) Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (Make sure your flour is "fluffed" not straight from the bag;  Dump it in a larger container and stir using up and down motion to fluff it up a little bit-THEN measure out 2 cups).  Measure 2 cups SELF RISING flour into a mixing bowl.  Add shortening and cut it until small and crumbly. A fork works fine for this purpose ...
