Apple pie in a jar.....I think yes!

I have to say that this was not my first time making these little beauties. I made some last fall and put them in the freezer and man where they handy! You can take a couple out of the freezer and throw them in the oven at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes. If you are afraid to go straight from the freezer to the oven, don't be. I do this all the time. All you have to do is put them on a cookie sheet in the oven and then set your oven temp. As the oven heats up, so do these little pieces of heaven. My husband loves to take these in his lunch. Yes, I know, you are welcome honey. :) You can make these with your favorite pie recipes. I'm thinking peach pie in a jar next.....oh yes!

As Sweet As Apple Pie

It was a beautiful day today in Southern Indiana! It was about 70 degrees and just felt wonderful! The guys worked outside, and I went in, and out. I had some apples that had not been eaten, so I decided to make a good old fashion apple pie. My hubby really likes apple pie, and was really glad to see it. We kinda like ice cream too, so why not top our warm apple pie off with it! Yummo!
