~~snail mail giveaway~~

pomegranate season is here!!

or so i think...because i picked 4 off my baby pomegranate tree recently.

i tried a new method of peeling the seeds this year.

i cut the pom and i peeled everything inside a bowl with water in it.

made the entire procedure quick and stain free. yay!!.

people have been asking me if i could mail them baked goods....

i'm not entirely sure if it'd be possible or even if it'd be able to get to the final destination in one piece.

so i decided that i would give it a shot.

i decided that i'd pick one person at random using random.org.

the winner will receive a box of dessert (cookies or cake pops) via snail mail.

how to enter:

leave a message with the answer to the following question:

what is your all time favorite thanksgiving dessert?

want more than just one try?

sure why not....

spread news about this post on fb, twitter, blog and receive a couple more entries.

best of luck!!

Happy Birthday Anna!!

mystery pecan pies

i love birthday celebrations.

i'm not good at buying people gifts so instead, i bake.

its my coworker "alice"s birthday today.

so yesterday i took a box of mini mystery pecan pies to work.

a perfect mixture of cheese cake and pecan pie.

what more can you ask?

something i learned from baking these:

if you bake these pies in the mini cupcake papers, they come out easily with little clean up.

but the negative part: the crust ends up being softer than it would be with no cupcake cover.

not sure what i need to do....

mini apple pies

i was craving an apple pie one day.

i just wanted one bit so i decided to try and bake some...mini style.

i couldnt decide on what to do for the top...

so i tried out a couple different designs:

ingredients:

• ready made pie dough found in refrigerated isle
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1-2 tsp cinnamon powder 
• 3 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and cut into small bite sizes

directions:

preheat oven to 425 F

cut apples, mix with cinnamon and set a side.

in a small pot, mix butter and flour together.

add water, both sugars and salt..bring to boil

add apples into pot, bring heat to medlow and cover lid.

roll out pie dough

using a circle cookie cutter, cut out 24 circles

place into mini cupcake pan 

(i like to line the pan with mini cupcake cups for easy removal later)

add apple mixture into each cup

place top layer of dough.

glaze with sauce left over in the pot

bake for 20-25 mins

(this part i will change later....i started baking it off at the wrong temp so it took me a little longer)

i'll leave you with one close up

enjoy ^^
