Apple Pillows
"I got this recipe out of my DD book "The Sleepover Cookbook" and we make these every time she has someone spend the night. They are so simple to make, but are such a hit with the kids. They are kind of like apple empanadas."

I used refrigerated breadsticks (thought I had crescent rolls, but didn't), so I had to get creative in the rolling! Omitted the raisins and prepared as directed. Made for a quick, lighter "dessert" that satisfied the sweet tooth without padding the thighs. Thanks! -
This is a quick, easy and tasty treat. It is a nice little fruity snack without all the calories like a piece of pie would have. We convection bake them for 17 minutes and they came out nicely browned and pippin hot on the inside. This would make a great afternoon snack for the kids after school. Make sure you grease the baking sheet like the instructions say.

Hi, I live in Hot Springs, AR, but originally hail from the great windy city, Chicago. I have a house full of animals, all rescues, 8 parrots, 4 dogs and a cat. I am passionate about animals, especially ones that have been abused and neglected. If I had the money, I would buy a farm and fill it with animals that needed homes. I've been this way since I was a child and it seems I have passed my passion on to my daughter. How my poor husband puts up with us I don't know, buy he's a great guy and pitches right in with all the animals. He's a chef at a local resort (and an assistant zoo keeper when he gets home...lol).
