    Are you looking for a simple and tasty apple appetizer?  All you have to do is wash the apples.  Core out the middle of one of the apples.  Put 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in the middle and swish it around making sure the entire inside of the apple has been coasted  with lemon juice (the lemon juice helps prevent the apple from browning).  Pour caramel dip in the center of the apple and serve with fresh apple slices.

    You can either buy the already made caramel dip or melt caramels according to the package directions.  Make sure the caramel is cool before pouring it into the apple “serving” bowl.  This recipe is simple, easy, and delicious.  A perfect Fall treat to share with family and friends!

  • Recipe: Halloween Brownie Trifle

    In celebration of the Autumn season I brought this Halloween Brownie Trifle for Community Group last week.  My original inspiration came from a recipe called Black Velvet Halloween Trifle from Blue Bonnets and Brownies.  I decided to make my own version based off the items that I had in our pantry.  Her bottom layer was a Black Velvet cake made from scratch, however, I used a box brownie mix because I was doing it on a Sunday afternoon before our get together that night.

    The Halloween Brownie Trifle was a huge hit with our group so I decided to share it with you.  This dessert would be great for a Fall or Halloween get together with family and friends. The best part is it’s easy and delicious!

    Halloween Brownie Trifle:

    • 1 box Brownie Mix
    • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes Butterscotch Pudding
    • 1  (8 oz) container Cool Whip
    • 1 1/2 cups Candy Corn
    • Red & Yellow Food Coloring
    1. Make the brownies according to the directions on the box and cool completely.
    2. While the brownies are baking mix together the butterscotch pudding according to the directions on the box.  Stir in 1 teaspoon of yellow food color and 1/2 teaspoon of red food color.  Cover and put into the fridge until you are ready to assemble.
    3. Once brownies have cooled cut them up into 1 inch squares and layer them into the bottom of a bowl.  Sprinkle 1/2 cup of candy corn over the layers of brownies.
    4. Pour the cold butterscotch pudding over the brownies.
    5. Spread the cool whip over the butterscotch pudding.
    6. Decorate the top of the Halloween Brownie Trifle with remaining candy corn.
