{Recipe} Baked Cinnamon Sugar Wonton Crisps

Four ingredients and thirty minutes are all it takes to make this easy and delicious dessert.
Asher brought some of these for Preschool treat...
We also made these for Family Night.
One package of wonton wrappers goes a long way.
Though these definitely get eaten quickly:)


Baked Cinnamon Sugar Wonton Crisps

Ingredients
1 package Wonton Wrappers
Cinnamon Sugar
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, optional yet desirable:)

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Place tinfoil on a cookie sheet.
Take 10 wonton wrappers and cut in half diagonally.
Place the cut halves on the prepared cookie sheet.
Brush each wonton wrapper with a light layer of olive oil.
Sprinkle on a little sea salt and a lot of cinnamon sugar.
Bake in the oven to desired crispness.  I leave mine in for at least 10 minutes.

{Recipe} Lucky Charms Krispie Treats

This easy, yummy treat was the first thing to go at Abbie's birthday party.
I got the idea HERE.
The empty plate was proof to me that this was a hit!


Lucky Charms Krispie Treats

Ingredients-
1 box Lucky Charms Cereal
10.5 oz. bag Mini Marshmallows
1/2 stick of Butter
Lime Green Wilton Candy Melts, optional

Directions-
Pour cereal into large bowl.
Melt butter over medium-high heat.
Add mini mallows and stir constantly until melted and smooth.
Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 pan.
Melt a small amount of the candy melts in a ziplock bag according to directions, in the microwave.
Snip off the corner of the plastic bag and drizzle the candy melts across the top.
Cut into squares and serve after the mallows have had a chance to set for about 10 minutes.

Notes~
When I make these again, I plan on adding more mallows.  I like my krispie treats to by extra gooey.
These were drier than I like, which can be solved by taking out some of the cereal or adding more mallows.

{Recipe} Caramel Apple and Chocolate Muffins

Here is my contributor post for Lil' Luna last month.

It is time for Fall!
I am ready for crisp air, pumpkins, and warm cinnamon.
It is so close, that I can catch glimpes of Fall already.
I decided to help it along by making some warm Caramel Apple and Chocolate Muffins.
These were so simple to make, and my family loved them... so these will definitely be remade:)


Caramel Apple and Chocolate Muffins
adapted from Mother Thyme
Yields 12 Muffins and 1 Mini Loaf

Ingredients:

1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar + 1 Tablespoon
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon + 1/2 teaspoon
⅛ teaspoon ground all spice
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 Large Gala Apple, grated
12 Fun Size Caramel Apple Milky Way Candy Bars, chopped (Optional)
Caramel Sauce

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using a cheese grater, grate the apple and lightly toss in a bowl with the Tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon... then set aside.
 Mix the rest of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add the lightly beaten eggs, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.
Gently fold in the grated apple and then the chopped candy bars.
Scoop batter into a lined muffin pan until each cup is 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops are lightly golden.

There are many different ways that you can do the topping.
  • Leave it as is
  • Pour caramel sauce on top of each muffin so that it soaks into the top
  • Wait until it has cooled off and drizzle caramel sauce lightly on top
  • use the Cinnamon Streusel recipe featured in the original recipe

All of the versions taste great, and the smell that fills your home will make you long for changing leaves, warm sweaters, and Halloween.

{Recipe} Baked Apple Chips

Want a simple, healthy snack?
I found the idea over at The Italian Dish.
I did it before church on Sunday while the kids ate breakfast...
By the time we got home, they were ready to eat.
This is a healthy snack, especially if you use Brown Sugar Splenda.


Baked Apple Chips

3 Apples, medium
1/3 Brown Sugar or Brown Sugar Splenda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Using a mandolin, quickly slice the apples and place in a bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Lay apple slices on two cookie sheets lined with parchment paper or a silpat.
Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together with a fork, to get rid of any lumps.
Sprinkle mixture on all of the slices until gone.
Bake 2-4 hours at 200-225 degrees.

Note~ Do NOT use tin foil.
On the second batch I made with Gala Apples, I sliced them even thinner with the mandolin then placed them on foil.  Almost all of them stuck to the foil, rather than lifting up nicely like they did with the parchment paper.
Also, don't use nutmeg.  We experimented, and even with the small amount used... it was overpowering.
