Can I have a scoop of the crispy?

What's up y'all? Another lovely Wednesday evening at the Culhane household. Why's it so lovely, you ask?

Because of the dessert we just ate.

Every week, Layne has been making a homemade dessert from the best cookbook ever {which we purchased from Anthro, of all places}. Here's a pic of the cookbook. If you see it somewhere, buy it. We promise you it'll make your world better.

Every week, we pick a recipe for Layne to make and Kyle to eat {Layne only has 1/32 of the end product}. She's made a blueberry-apple crisp and a blueberry-lemon cobbler {which by the way, would be Kyle's last meal on Earth, if he could choose. Amazing}. This week, Kyle convinced Layne to make something with apples {Layne hates apples. "Not necessarily the taste. Peeling, slicing, the skin is disgusting; gets caught in your teeth. It's just annoying." And to add to her disgust, Layne cut herself while slicing the apples. Twice. So now she hates apples even more and Kyle is relishing this apple dessert, bc he may not see another one}

Whew. So back to this week's recipe. Here are some pics of the progress.

First up, Layne's made-from-scratch dough. This crust is the best ever. Layne was eating the crust plain with ice cream earlier. No joke.

Next up, Layne sauteing the apples with butter, sugar and a vanilla bean {good gracious, is there anything more tasty than that last sentence}. Please note the dune Le Crueset. Layne is obsessed with this cookware.

Ta-da! The finished product. A) It's beautiful. I mean, literally a work of art. B) It tastes better than it looks {even possible?!?!}

How delicious is the apple tart? Well, Kyle's already eaten 3/4 of the tart, for what it's worth.

But what's even better...? Layne had extra dough and so she whipped up a quick banana tart {in a mini-tart Le Creuset...told ya she's obsessed} We actually haven't even dug into this yet. But fo' sho' we will soon.

Now, we are ending our day with Survivor and Top Chef Finale. We had dinner with Layne's parents, Callan and Sonny at Savastano's. It filled our belly's up so we can watch Top Chef and not get too hungry.

Catch ya on the flip.
