Apple pie is a traditional Thanksgiving dessert. We are going to try apple pie with a twist this year. Individual apple rosettes. It tastes yummy like an apple pie- but less fuss & more fun. 
Baked Apples
4 small granny smiths
4 sheets of pie dough
1 stick butter
4 Tbs cinnamon sugar
Honey
Core the apples, removing the seeds and stem. Place each apple in the center of a round pre-made pie crust. Fill the apple with about 2 Tbs of butter and cinnamon, drizzle with honey. Bring the dough up around the apple, pinching at the top to form a rosette. Cut off any excess dough. Add another dot of butter and cinnamon. Bake at 350° 30-40 minutes, until dough is browned. Serve with a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream.
Thanksgiving is a holiday to be spent with family. Here at the WhistleStop Cafe we know we have been blessed. Tomorrow we will gather around the McMichael table, there will be food for 50 (at least!), every dish in the kitchen will be dirty, and the football games will be on every TV. We are having the traditional carb-laden meal. Fried Turkey, cornbread dressing, cranberry salad, sweet potato souffle, and mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and THE greenbean casserole, gravy, gravy, gravy and rolls. Doesn't that sound like fun?
We have so much to be thankful for... especially friends like YOU!
We hope each of you enjoy this special day.
Happy turkey day y'all!

Such a fun way to serve baked apples -- I'm sure everyone at your table will enjoy them. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey Sandi, thank you for the well wishes on Thanksgiving! We are definitely going to eat some cornbread dressing but we're having a big potluck with 5 other military families, and I'm bringing Sweet Potato Casserole that tastes more like a dessert than a side and Deviled Eggs. And let me just tell ya, for the Harvest Auction on the Air Force Base last weekend, I made my 1st Pecan Pie ever. Can you believe I am a Southern gal and never made a Pecan Pie? Well where did I go for the recipe??? No not Food Network, not Paula Deen, but none other than the Whistlestop Cafe. :) It was an awesome Pecan Pie and everyone raved so I'll be making that one again soon. Hope y'all have a wonderful day tomorrow. -Vonda
Happy Thanksgiving Sandi! Your meal sounds terrific.
OMG - I think you've posted a recipe that even I can do! I'm so excited - and I'm not even kidding. I'm going to try this when we return from Oklahoma...my husband LOVES apple pie and bless his heart, he's married to me so he mostly only gets Mrs. Smith's frozen stuff. This is great...I'll let you know if it works for a kitchen moron like me (just so you'll know you've truly got a fool-proof recipe there. lol).
YUMMO!!!! I'll try those apples!!
My husband love apple pie!! hugs NG
Mac (WTHF) loves these. I made the traditional apple pie this time though, lol...I used Splenda instead of sugar...hope it'll be fit to eat...have a wonderful Thanksgiving

Sandi

Counting the days till Fri.
Yum! This looks do-able!
I was just talking to someone about fried turkeys tonight. I have never tried one or had one. I must say that I feel a bit intimidated by the whole process. I have heard that the turkey can even explode! All I need to do is to watch someone do it I suppose...
Every time I see those green fried tomatoes at the top of the blog, my mouth starts to flood! Someday, I hope to be in your neck of the woods and sit down and have myself a down home meal!
