Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.


The perfect hot dessert when apple season comes around. Skillet-simmered apples in a thick, pie-spiced glaze go down an absolute treat with a cool spoonful of ice cream.
2 1/2 cups apple juice, divided
4 large Golden Delicious or Honey Crisp apples cut in half-inch slices (you can peel them if desired)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
4 tablespoons sugar
Combine 2 cups of the apple juice and the apple slices in a skillet over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir gently until the apples are tender. Remove the apples with a slotted spoon and place in a serving dish.
In a small bowl, stir together the remaining apple juice, cornstarch, apple pie spice, and sugar. Stir until smooth then add to the liquid in the skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Pour the sauce over the fried apples in the serving dish then serve immediately.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I used apple cider as recommended in the reviews and I think this turned out pretty good. I thought it could use a little more flavor but the apples I bought were alittle bland so maybe that was all. I served it as a side but I think it would go better on ice cream.

They also use bacon drippings in it ;) They have like a little container full of bacon drippings, they use it n everything! (exaggerated obviously, haha)But me, being a none pork eater, I use a little canola oil and just a few drops of liquid smoke :D It gives it that little extra kick! They also use it in the glazed carrots to :)

I used some of the recipe. I cooked granny smith apples in the juice and add a TLBS of butter. I didn't have cornstarch so used flour, sugar, and cinnamon and add another table spoon of butter when adding the mixture to the juice. They turned out reallllllly good, my family was pleased.

Just used this recipe tonight and it was great! I used the apple cider like Ms Cracker Barrel suggested and I used just cinnamon instead of apple pie spice. I recommend this recipe to everyone!

this was very good---but i would suggest peeling the apples,and a little more pie spice---i used spiced cider---and served warm with a sccop of vanila ice crem on top--it was very good
There is one ingredient that you have on there that is not right. They use Apple Cider not Apple Juice. I know this because I work there.

This recipe was A++! I didn't have the apple pie spice, so I made it without it. It still came out just like Cracker Barrel's. My whole family loved it!
