Mini Apple Pies

I watched HeyKayli's YouTube video (link!) on Thanksgiving treats and these little pastries looked so good I went out to buy the ingredients the same day!

Ingredients:
Puff Pastry Sheets or Pie Crust (found in freezer section)
1 Apple
Melted Butter (about 3-4 Tbsp.)
Sugar (about 1/3 cup)
Cinnamon (about 3 tsp.)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
2. Set the puff pastries out flat and coat them with melted butter
3. Mix cinnamon and sugar; sprinkle on top of butter
4. Cut puff pastry into vertical strips about 1 inch thick
5. Cut apple into slices
6. Take one apple slice and roll the puff pastry around it (should look like a croissant)
7. Coat the top with a little more butter and sprinkle more of the cinnamon/sugar mix on top
8. Place on cookie sheet (parchment paper recommended so it doesn't stick)
9. Bake in the oven for 13-15 min.
10. Let cool 15 min. before enjoying

These were super simple to make and only take about 20 minutes total! They are perfect for Thanksgiving or a fun dessert. Bonus: the house smells absolutely delicious when you bake them :)

This looks like a party to me! I wish I could join in on the fun!

Zoya Jem Review

Zoya Jem was released as part of the Smoke and Mirrors Collection. It is a deep burgundy color with pink and gold shimmer. The polish is wonderfully pigmented and you could easily wear one coat. I applied two for good measure because I did my nails in the evening and wasn't too confident in the dim light. This color is beautiful - it just makes your nails glow. My only qualms about Jem is that the gold shimmer that is so stunning in the bottle is not as visible on the nails. I bought my bottle from Ulta for about $8.

OPI Warm & Fozzie

This is 3 coats of OPI's Warm & Fozzie from The Muppets Collection. It is a dark grey gel with a multitude of bronze, gold, rose gold, and olive gold shimmer. It translates from the bottle pretty accurately. It is a complex polish that is just stunning... it just radiates warmth. The colors are perfect for fall when the leaves change. This is probably my favorite of the collection, but I have yet to try Designer De Better. Let me know what you think!
