Return of the Apples

Continuing on with the apples vs. pumpkins war, a previous post for Crock pot Applesauce is coming back and being made into something else yummy, Applesauce Cookies with Caramel Frosting.


First, my lovely assistant (aka DD) and I assembled our ingredients.

The gelato container is not gelato; it's my homemade applesauce!

When I made the applesauce I left it chunky but I didn't want chunks in my cookies so I pureed it in the food processor.  And in the process, wondered why I never made baby food for my kids.  It's not that hard to puree something!

Anyway,  they bake at 375 for 8 mins.

I didn't get any pictures of making the frosting but you bring butter and heavy cream to a boil.  Then turn off the heat and add vanilla.  After it cools, add powdered sugar.  I think I added the powdered sugar too soon because I had lumps but these cookies are seriously amazing!!  My whole family agrees and hubby even ate them for lunch today because he ran out of time to get something else.  There's definitely worse things, right?!  And my parents will vouch for them, too!

So here's the picture you've been waiting for; the finished product!  With the original link below.
