Fall Dessert: Oatmeal Cookie Apple Pie Bake

This Apple and Oatmeal Cookie Fall dessert is brought to you by Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community and Smart and Final.

Fall is coming!

Fall is coming!

To me that means crisp sunny days...

pumpkins...warm sweaters...colorful leaves...

apples...and baking!

Yes, Fall makes me want to bake...and bake...and bake.

Sometimes there is too much happening in my life to bake a treat completely from scratch, but yet I still want to make something with that special homemade feel. For that reason, I challenged myself to create a go-to Fall dessert that was totally yummy, but also super easy to make. I purchased First Street Bakery Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, one of Smart and Final's pre-made bakery items!

I have made dessert with cookie crusts before...but man oh man it takes time.

By using the First Street Bakery Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, I was able to skip quite a few steps, and save on time and ingredients!

Perfecto!

 

I had an idea of what I wanted to make before I headed to the store, but got a little excited seeing all of the options at Smart and Final - you can get a glimpse of all they have to offer in my Google+ album.

I look for shortcuts in my baking and cooking where I can...but I never compromise on quality or taste and with Smart and Final, I get exceptional quality, variety, and taste! I am a huge fan of Smart and Final and have always found their pre-made bakery items to be delicious.
