A Yummy, Gooey Chocolate Dessert


I tried a recipe from the January 2009 issue of Southern Living for our small group tonight. Once again, Southern Living came through! The recipe was for hot fudge brownie cake. Spooning boiling water over the top of the cake creates a gooey pudding layer on the bottom. I served it with Cool Whip--it would also be great with vanilla ice cream. Get a spoon and dig in--or just skip the spoon and go in head first--it's that good!

Best-Ever Apple Pie--Really!

You just can't beat a good ol' American apple pie for a great dessert. This recipe was featured in the September 2008 issue of Southern Living. It has five pounds of apples in it!! The picture above is the picture of the pie I made. It was so good! As you read the recipe, you will notice that the crust is a little different--it has cornmeal in it. It also uses apple juice as the wetting agent. The trick is rolling the top crust out large enough to cover that mound of apples. If you love apple pie, try this one. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
