A big huge THANK YOU to my cousin, Pauline, for suggesting these during an evening conversation while I drove home from a photo shoot.

The kids thank her. Michael thanks her.  I think Summer even thanks her.

[recipe follows]

Ingredients for Individual Apple Dumplings (which are kind of like pie, which totally rules the planet)

Refrigerated Pie Crust (you could most certainly make your own; I’m looking at YOU, Rachel Matthews)
Apples (peeled and sliced)
Brown Sugar
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Kraft Caramels
Butter
Optional ingredients include raisins, walnuts, and really whatever your pie’ish loving heart desires

1) Cut top and bottom pie crust dough into quarters
2) Roll out with rolling pin
3) Place apple slices in middle
4) Sprinkle sugar and spice
5) Add caramel to center
6) Wrap up dough around apples and stuff

9) Take out and place on plate/bowl
10) Scoop some whip cream or vanilla ice cream on top
