My Apple Pie

Apple pie! One of my favorite pies! It was so good and actually looked good too. I love making pie in general, but apple is by far one of the best to eat, but time consuming. Coring and peeling the apples can be very time consuming. When picking apples to use remember that Granny Smith might be good to eat, but in a pie.....not the best. You want a red, soft apple that is sweet for your pies.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Well, I took my Mother-in-Law's recipe for Pineapple Upside Down Cake and made it for my first challenge of the month. I love the brown sugar and crushed pineapple and cherry.....sigh. My husband loves it and I think it brings back a little bit of childhood. Now, I will say that this recipe is super easy. I used my own recipe for a butter cake.......BUT I have used a box mix and changed a few things when in a hurry. It is really easy.

Go buy a box of whatever brand of cake mix you use that is a BUTTER cake mix. Then instead of water you use crushed pineapple. Then butter the cake pan and cover the butter with brown sugar. Put the pineapple rings down and a cherry in the middle. Spread your cake mix on top and bake at 350 until golden brown:) Nice and easy and DELICIOUS!

My New Recipe Blog Challenge is starting NOW!!

I have made a new years challenge for my blog.......to make a new recipe from my Grandma's, Mom's or Mother-in-law's cookbooks. I thought it was a good idea at the time and I still do, but I am bad at actually getting the proof on the blog. So, instead of a new years challenge it is my birthday challenge. I just had a birthday ( yeah, it just isn't as much fun as it use to be), so I am starting this week and it will last until my birthday next year:) 52 new recipes to make and try.....and hopefully others will like the "new" recipes too. I will blog tonight with my Pineapple Upside Down Cake.
