Where do I find the apple cherry bake instructions

Suggestion on the cookie cups. Turn your muffin tins over and place the cookie dough over each section and mold to the "cup" and bake.. once cooled you have your bowl no additional step needed.

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Great tip. Thanks!😁

[@Harl-pic]

I’ve done that with brownies and had a brownie bowl ice cream

Great tips thanks. The riper the bananas the sweeter the bread. I wait until my bananas almost brown.

Thanks! Yea, I usually wait too, but I just went with it this time lol😁

Something that’s really good with making the banana bread is putting half your batter in your loaf pan and take some caramel sauce or syrup and drizzle some on top and give it a little swirl and then put the rest of the batter on top and drizzle on more caramel. I make this all the time and people always love it.

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Great idea!😁

[@requiem3160]

Awesome meal prep - these look SO good (probably because they're desserts and snacks - so hard to resist)! Awesome work Tammy! Have an awesome week and take care!

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Thank you so much!! It’s sure nice to have a few sweet things at the ready lol. Hope you have a great week!!😁😁😁

[@connieb6841]

Great video. My mom (now deceased) always used pie filling for the cobbler recipe and that’s how I make it. I’m 63 and never thought to use plain canned fruit and never saw anyone make it that way until a couple of years ago when my best friend made her cobbler that way. Still, I prefer it with the pie filling. If you have one of those meat choppers (for breaking up meat during browning) you can dump the apple or peach filling into a dish and use the chopper to cut up the fruit.

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

I do have a meat chopper! Didn’t even occur to me to use it for this. Thanks for the tip! I wasn’t sure how I would like it, but the pie filling is wonderful in cobbler!😁😁😁

You should try the 1-2-3 banana bread, it's one box of yellow cake mix, two eggs and three mashed bananas that's it mix well and bake till toothpick comes out clean. It is so good you can add nuts or use a chocolate cake mix it's the only one I use now and the grandkids love it. And I have never thought to make deserts for the freezer thank you for showing this

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

I’ll have to try it!😁😁

[@ToniH.-cn8uw]

Also, if you have pie filling and not sure what to make, myom would put pienfilling in a cake pan, small or big and top.eith some cake batter and bake it....flip it over and thenfilling is on top....suepr good eith cherry filling!

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

That sounds like a great idea!😁

[@thepuglady3931]

I wish I had seen the granola bars before I made the ones in my fridge right now!! I haven’t cut them yet because they’re a little dry and don’t stick together very well. Marshmallows would have been perfect for that!

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Yes! These are chewy even after they’ve been frozen and thawed out😁😁

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I am the complete opposite. I forget that I am wearing a "good shirt" and get all of the food on it while cooking then to make matters worse I get bleach water on it during the clean up process. The I get mad at myself for forgetting to change clothes before inspiration struck in the kitchen. 🙂

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

I’ve done that before too 😂😂

[@conniewach7872]

I agree, no chocolate chips in the banana bread. Lol.

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

It’s just not right 😂😂

[@jumpintofall56]

Started these today, but I have a fear of using the wrong pan size after I ended up cramming enchiladas into the pans that weren't the right size. My bad, though, I knew the tortillas were 8"! I'm glad they are just for me and hubby😂 That's what I get for ordering too many different sizes. Will see how the crumble turns out. I'm still trying to decide what pan size you used, lol

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Lol…This is what I used for enchiladas amzn.to/4fdFbLG This is what I used for the crumble amzn.to/3YilOtM

[@DonnaBush-ul3gg]

These all look fantastic! If I wanted to add nuts to the granola bars, at what point in the process should they be added?

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

You could add them into the rest of the dry ingredients😁

[@roosgramma9125]

Hum never seen small aluminum tins like that. Are they from Amazon also?

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Yes they are! They are in my Amazon store…the link is below the video…if you need to check sizes😁

[@pamelaburdick8366]

Doesn’t self rising flour already have the levelers in it? Or does the recipe call for extra baking soda and baking powder?

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Yes it does. Some recipes need a little extra to make it act right😁

[@traceyrobitaille7893]

I have just stumbled upon your channel. I love it! I do have a question, could I substitute maple syrup (the real stuff) instead of honey in the granola bars?

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Thank you! I haven’t tried with maple syrup. It tends to be a bit thinner than honey so you may need to adjust a bit for that🙂

[@elizabeththomas3942]

Why did you add baking soda and baking powder to the self rising flour while making the banana bread?

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

The base recipe is something I found years ago and it’s just how I’ve always done it. I don’t know the science behind it, but it works for this. This is actually the only recipe where I’ve added both to self rising flour🙂

[@KyHillbilly2010]

what can you use in replacement of sour dough discard??

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Since sourdough discard is basically just flour and water that is fermented, you can try adding an extra 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of water in place of the discard. I’ve never tried it this way, but it might work🙂

[@LindaKreutzer-v2d]
