A Tale of Two Apple Desserts.

Brie Apple Bites.

The first is a recipe pulled from OHO's kitchen forum.
The second is from Pioneer Woman.

First: Brie Apple Bites.

I made these back in December, and I think that they have the potential to be very, very good. However, as we all know, I don't have the best oven. So, by the time the puff pastry was done the rest of the ingredients had been cooked down to pretty much nothing. For those of you with a decent oven, give them a try! Brie, cream cheese, apples...what's not to love?


Cut a sheet of puff pastry into (mostly) equal squares.
Spread a layer of cream cheese onto each piece.


Next, slice up the apples and brie.


Place a slice of each onto half of your puff pastry squares and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, or whatever spice you prefer with apple desserts. Top off with the remaining puff pastry squares, creating little sandwiches.





Bake according to puff pastry directions and enjoy!



Now, on to a recipe even my oven can't mess up...


First of all, any recipe that starts off like this... 



...can't go wrong.

It only gets better from there.



And better...



And sugary, and better...



Oh yes, this is definitely a good development...



This next part seems strange, but you just have to go with it. It's what I've been saying this whole time...no matter what, it just gets better.

 (Note: I only poured in about 8oz. You probably don't want to use an entire 20oz bottle.)

How could this get better!?


Baking it would probably help...



*Sigh* Chris will be lucky if any of these are left when he gets home from work.

Please, please, please don't forget the Vanilla Ice Cream. They are perfectly amazing without it, but there is something about hot apple desserts with vanilla ice cream that is just...right.

Sadly, I did forget the ice cream while shopping yesterday. If you think that is going to stop me from wanting to eat the entire pan, well, you'd be wrong.
Thankfully, I also bought The Biggest Loser game for Wii yesterday.
