This recipe ROCKS! I've been craving apple pie ever since I bought an apple crisp scented plug in from Bath & Body Works a couple weeks ago. However, I've never made a fruit-filled pie before. I found this recipe and it did not disappoint! I did change a little after reading some reviews. I sprinkled in cinnamon, nutmeg, a tad of ground cloves and a few drops of vanilla. After cooking the mixture in the stove, I poured most of it over the apples in a bowl to coat before transferring them into my already made, frozen pie crust (remember, this is my first fruit pie, can't go too crazy by making homemade crust just yet). Then I took another thawed out already made pie shell and laid it over the top, pinching the sides and cutting the top to vent. I used what was left of the mixture to brush on top (doesn't take much at all). I baked it at 350 for one hour. And I couldn't wait for it to cool, I ate it hot! Sooooooooo good! Definitely the go to apple pie recipe!

I used this recipe the first time with balsamic vinegar bc I didn't have any red wine vinegar. It was AWESOME! The next time, I used red wine vinegar and we didn't like it as much. So the 50 times I've made it, I use balsamic bc it gives it a better flavor. Also, I slice the steak up first and put it in a big ziploc bag to marinate. Then I lay the slices out on the counter top George Foreman grill I have and cook them that way. Pair them with sauteed onion & bell pepper, sour cream and cheese and you have PERFECT fajitas! The kid loves them and so does the picky, chef hubby.

LOVED this soup! My hubby is the chef in our family so when I made this and he really liked it, I knew it was a keeper. I did use chicken broth instead of water, added a little sour cream, added more garlic bc we are garlic junkies, and I thickened it up a little more with more flour because it was too thin. Other than that, it's great! Served it with a little cheese sprinkled on top.
