There are a few cooking shows Benny will watch with me and Pioneer Woman is one of them.  Probably because we're a little bit intrigued by her crazy success and how she takes simple recipes and makes them famous.



Here's a perfect example- slab apple pie.  Nothing too exciting here, but make it, taste it, and you'll feel like you need a reason to make it again soon.




Birthdays anyone? Who wants to come over for dessert?  I want to make this again in the near future.  I'm a sucker for Apple Pie and this was nice and easy enough minus peeling apples and prepping the dough a day before you want to make it.  I made the pies the day before we were going to eat them as well as suggested by the PW.

Here's the link for the pie and crust on Food Network and here's the recipe for her Caramel Sauce- a must make.

• 4 T. butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup half-and-half
• pinch salt
• 1 T vanilla
