Apple Pie Pops

Jades mummy ran a coffee morning this Wednesday for The White Lodge Centre in Chertsey. It was a lovely day and turn out despite the rain and lots of pennies were raised!

As with any coffee morning there were lots of delicious treats on offer! I had offered to make something to bring too and decided to make some apple pie pops and oreo truffles!

Im going to share with you the apple pie pop recipe on todays blog!

Now i must say that i totally made this up and as i'm on another crazy diet this week i couldn't actually taste any of them but i was assured they were yummy and they look super cute so thats all that matters right?

So to make 24 pops heres what you need:

2 packets of ready rolled shortcrust pastry

1 jar of apple sauce

Granulated sugar

cake pop sticks

Circle biscuit cutter.

So basically this was the easiest thing ever, all i did was on some baking paper sprinkle some sugar then place on one circle of cut pastry (cut with the cutter) then spoon a small amount of apple sauce into the middle. Then sprinkle some sugar then place another pastry circle on top then sprinkle some more sugar. Then you need to put your cake pop stick in the middle and get a fork and press down all the way around to seal the edge of the pie. Next thing to do is to pull out your cake pop stick! Don't put them in the oven with the apple pies like i did on first batch!! Pulling out the stick will leave a little hole ready for you to pop the stick back in when they are fresh out of the oven.

One you have filled your tray with your baking paper on it, pop them in the oven on a medium heat for about 20-25mins but be sure to keep checking them! When they look ready pull them out of the oven and pop the cake pop sticks back in. Then leave to cool and bish bash bosh your all done!

These would be super cute at a party or for little party favours! You could even add some cinnamon or choose a different filling?

Let us know if you try them!

Banoffee Pie (my fave)!

Wow i do so love a Banoffee Pie - i would say its my favourite dessert but i think all desserts are my favourite haha!!!

This is an amazing dessert on 3 counts!!

Firstly its so quick to make you can make it within 15 mins and take to bar b q or event!
Secondly its so easy and no baking or boiling so even toddlers can make it
Thirdly it tastes and looks amazing!!!

Ingredients

4 Bananas
300ml Whipped Cream
250g pack of Digestives
1 or 2 cans of Carnation Caramel
100g melted butter
Chocolate to decorate

Firstly crush the biscuits into crumbs - I normally put mine in a ziplock bag and get honey to hit and roll them with a rolling pin! Place the crumbs into a bow and add the melted butter to the biscuits.  Once mixed press onto bottom of a lightly greased 20cm cake tin.  Pop in fridge for 10 mins.

During this 10 mins (which is an eternity for an impatient 3 year old) i get Honey to cut the banana with her special plastic knife!

Take the base out of the fridge and spread the carnation caramel over the base - ive said 1 or 2 cans depending on how caramelly (i know thats not even a word but i like it) you like it! I would then place this in the fridge to harden up!

Then place you banana slices on top of the caramel - try not to leave many gaps.

Spoon the cream on top and then grate some chocolate on top!

Taaaaa Daaaaa !!!! Fool Proof quick and easy dessert!!!

You can also use condensed milk and boil it however with toddlers in the house and a previous burn incident i just try not to over complicate things! It does seem to set better though!  Also you could make these into little ones in fairy cake wrappers and make them in a 6 cake tin for the children!

Hope you all enjoy
Love
