Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I am SUPER excited! Besides Christmas, Valentine’s Day has to be my favorite commercialized holiday. It always has been, ever since I was a little girl :) For me it was never about having a valentine (I was a late bloomer in the crushing on boys department). I just loved swapping valentines at school and how teddy bears and pink and red candy boxes took over the store shelves. To this day, I still get giddy when I see Valentine’s Day themed anything. Like this cutting board and these cocottes . Oh my gosh…soooo cute! When I began this blog last year, it was after Valentine’s Day so I didn’t get a chance to share any Valentine’s Day recipes. BUT this year, I am ready to play! I have a slew of recipes to share, beginning with these Apple hand pies. If you remember, I accidentally developed a copycat McDonald’s Apple pie recipe . It was a hit around these parts so I decided to spread the love and turn them into a Valentine’s Day treat! Aside from the utterly flaky crust and the scrumptious cinnamon & Apple filling, they are heart shaped, which just makes them taste 10x better! To get even crazier, I added sprinkles, which makes them irresistible. No one will be able to pass these babies up.
