I am so excited to be invited to participate in the Lady Behind The Curtain Improv Cooking Challenge. Sheryl is a genius for starting this fun Linky Party. Each month we will be given 2 ingredients that we must use in our recipe and then everyone that was invited will link up and share the recipes. This month our 2 ingredients that had to be used are Apples and Caramel. When I received the email with the invitation and the recipe requirements I knew exactly what I'd be making!
This is the perfect Fall dessert! I have been making this recipe for a few years now and everyone always really enjoys it. I don't know why I never make it any other time of the year but it's always on the menu at some point in the fall.
