For Christmas my sister got me Buddy Valastro's book "Baking with the Cake Boss." I told her that since she got it for me we could make some things out of it together. Last night she decided that we would make the Chocolate Brownie Clusters. I let her be in charge of making them and I would help her, she wanted to leave out the walnuts but I think they would have tasted so well in there. As it turned out the cookies didn't turn out looking so good, but they still taste yummy! They were a different kind of recipe, they were really light and fluffy almost. I think if we would have whipped the meringue longer they would have turned out fuller.
Tonight, I made the Peanut Butter Cookies from the same book and they turned out so wonderful! They are really rich and full of peanut butter chips and milk chocolate chips so its a bit different than other Peanut Butter recipes. I liked this recipe because it is quick. They are only in the oven for 8 minutes and the rest of the baking is done on the pan.
This book is full of great recipe and tips and tricks to baking AND decorating which is perfect for me! I can't wait to try out all the other recipes in the book! If your into baking and decorating, I suggest you get this book, its AWESOME!

Tonight I have made the easiest, most delicious apple pies ever..Mini Apple Pies! I got the idea from one of my favourite YouTubers, HeyKayli. This is probably the simplest recipe I have ever made, all together it takes under 20 minutes from start to finish!
I want to share this recipe because it is so great and anyone will be able to make it!
What you'll need:
(Makes 8 mini apple pies)
1package of Puff Pastry Sheets (you can find these at Superstore near the pie crusts in the freezer section, they are only a couple dollars)
Cinnamon and Sugar mixture (I just did equal parts of each, but if you prefer one or the other you can add extra)
Melted Butter
2 Apples (cut into 8 wedges all together)
To start, you need to thaw the Puff Pastry sheet (allow 1-2hrs to thaw). In a package you'll get two sheets. If you would like to make more thaw both of them, but to make 8 you will only need one of the sheets. You can put the other back in the freezer.
Once your Puff Pastry is thawed, roll it out. I like to work on top of a plate or parchment paper so there isn't a huge clean up required! Take your melted butter and spread it all over the Puff Pastry sheet. Next, sprinkle your cinnamon and sugar mixture on top. It might seem like you are putting a lot on, but it will be alright!
Then you want to cut your Puff Pastry sheet and cut it into eight strips. I like to mark out where my cuts will be first to make sure that I will have enough.
Once they are cut, take one strip and pull away from the rest. Grab an apple and start rolling it up in the strip of Puff Pastry. Continue this for all 8 apple slices.
Set the rolled apples onto a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Use the remaining melted butter and spread a bit on the top of each rolled apple. Then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon and sugar mixture on top of each.
Now, they are ready for the oven. Bake at 425* for 13-15 minutes, just keep an eye on them and pull them out when they look ready! It really is that easy and hardly takes up any time at all! I enjoyed mine with some ice cream! They are really good right out of the oven with or without ice cream!!
I hope everyone has the opportunity to make these delicious little apple pies, you won't regret it!
Kaits :)
