Dutch Apple Pie with Cinnamon Roll Crust (and Cheese)

Sweet mother this is good pie.  This is like "last meal" good.  It actually impresses me that a pie can be this good and not made at a restaurant that specializes in pie.  If you have any plans in the near future to make an apple pie, please give this a try.  It may be a little labor intensive, but you won't regret it; nor will your unsuspecting guests.  The only thing that can make this pie any better is some DQ, homemade ice cream/custard, or homemade whipped cream.  Have I mentioned this pie is amazing?  It absolutely is.

Double Apple Bundt Cake

This cake was so good that it made me want to throw up a little.  Not a bad throw up, but a good one.  Trust me, that exists.  And no, I'm not pregnant.  The smell in the apartment after I baked this cake made it seem as if there was an apple candle in every room.  It smelled a little too good to be true, but the cake tasted just as good as it smelled.

Orange Blueberry Muffins

When Brad and I recently had our friends Lindsey and Matt over for the day, I prepared brunch for the four of us.  Of course, no brunch is truly complete without a Mimosa or Bloody Mary, but the stars of the show were these delicious muffins.  Okay, I'll be honest, they may not have been quite as good without the help of the Mimosas, but they're pretty freakin' awesome.

Broke Ass Chocolate Mint Bars

Oh, Lola.  You have led me astray.  Your contribution to Estella's cookbook sounded so enticing, so delicious, so... perfect.  I had so many plans for your bars.  People would compliment their greatness at family functions, friendly get-togethers, office parties.  Your bars seemed like the answer to all of my mint chocolate prayers.  I learned far too late that you, my dear Lola, could not cook.  Bless your soul and may you rest in peace, but you could never cook.
