I present to you all: Apple Pie Snickerdoodle thumbprints!

Components: strudel crumb topping, apple compote, modified snickerdoodle dough, cinnamon sugar.

Ingredients for crumb topping:

1/2 stick unsalted butter (if salted omit extra salt)

2 ounces flour

1 ounce brown sugar

1 ounce white sugar

Dash of cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Using (clean) hands, cut butter into the dry ingredients until combined and crumbly. Helps if the butter has time to soften! You will likely have extra, if so you can save it for making other baked goodies! (Don't eat raw unless you like raw flour)

Ingredients for apple compote-

1 or 2 crisp apples (the variety is your choice, just be sure it can hold its shape when cooked! Granny Smiths are the go-to for baking usually. I used honeycrisp.)

Splash of water (might not be needed the apples will release a LOT of juice)

Enough sugar to coat the apples (amount you want will vary by the amount of apple you have, coat the apples but don't go too crazy with it)

Dash of cinnamon

Butter (a quarter to half a stick, depending on amount of apples)

Peel and dice your apples, combine in pot with other ingredients. Simmer on low heat on stovetop, covered, for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. (I made mine the night before and chilled it in the fridge. You will likely have extra of this as well, which can be used for other baked goodies or eaten as is! Willing to bet it'd be a good icecream topping)

Modified snickerdoodles and assembly-

(Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, it'll heat up while making the dough)

7.5 ounces butter

8 ounces brown sugar

2 eggs

.25 ounces vanilla

10 ounces flour

0.1 ounces baking powder

0.1 ounces salt

Cinnamon sugar (white sugar, cinnamon) for coating

Cream together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Gradually add in the eggs. Combine dry ingredients seprately, add once egg and butter/sugar are combined fully.

Scoop in 1 Tablespoon balls, roll in cinnamon sugar. On cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, place ball and press thumbprint softly into center of cookie. (The parchment paper is a must, it will make cleanup a thousand times easier and these are very messy cookies!) Spoon enough apple compote to fill the dent in the cookie- it will not take much. Try to avoid getting too much liquid. Sprinkle on crumb topping. A lot will likely end up on the baking sheet. You can try to save it, put it back on the cookies, etc. But I just left it. You have plenty more.

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 13 minutes. Allow to cool, then enjoy!

ALRIGHT SO. I’ve been working on an Octopath fic and I know I haven’t mentioned it here but-

THIS ART IS AMAZING it captures the biting scene so well too! (I really can’t thank you enough- I’m so happy to see fanart of my work!)

8PATH [alftheri] / if you wanna read the related (inspiration) work Bloodbound, it’s here! (please do!) this art is a scene from ch11 but I guess everyone expected this hehe! 

my art is 100% getting the scene wrong :_) oh well! (psht my twitter account is open to chat! i love chatting about anything!) 

Some recent drawings of my DnD character, Galena! 

See that fearful screaming face? Yeah she makes that expression a lot. 

Made my own birthday cake this year, caramel apple upside-down cake. My dad suggested it after I made him a cherry upside-down cake for his birthday (he was upset I didn't eat any of it). I'm very happy with the results!

I made a cover page for my current fanfic project.

(all that effort, and- the shackle is on the wrong wrist. Damn it. References are important, kids.)
