Party Plans

Here are a few of the things I'd like to serve at my parents 30th Anniversary party coming up!

Deconstructed Apple Pie
4 apples (use apple of your choice)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 pre-made pie crust (recommend Pillsbury refrigerated, rolled pie crusts)
sugar and cinnamon for sprinkling
lightly sweetened, whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for topping

Peel, core, and chop apples into 1/2″ chunks. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add chopped apples. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook apples until tender, stirring occasionally. Adjust sugar and cinnamon to taste and, when apples are cooked through, remove from heat. (If you plan to serve immediately, cover to retain heat while you make crust component.)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Unroll one pie crust onto a cutting board and cut into strips approximately 1 1/2″ wide. Place strips 1/4″ apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Bake for 8-10 minutes until brown and crispy. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly on cookie sheet.

To assemble, spoon warm filling into a dessert bowl, parfait glass, or something similar. Top with freshly whipped cream or a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream. Break one pie crust strip in half and insert each piece, broken side down, into the filling. Serve immediately. (Store any remaining pie crust pieces in a airtight container for snacking later.)

Avacado Cheese Hamburgers

This is a fun party idea for Addy's 2 year old birthday party that is not for 4 months! Im getting a head start on planning...haha.

Love this idea! I need to get some glass pitchers that are more fancy. All I really use is rubbermaid stuff.

There are gorgeous cookies aren't they? Too bad they have three inside layers and take a while to make. I'd like to use the chocolate glaze for some other recipes I'm trying out.

Chocolate glaze:
12 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 ounces cocoa butter or vegetable oil
