Combining two blogging events into one delicious dessert

I threw this together for dessert the other night and it tastes JUST LIKE apple pie a la mode. This could also be created with cinnamon graham crackers if you don’t have any cinnamon cookies. By crumbling the cookies over the warm applesauce, they warm up and soak up some of the applesauce. This is literally so good and so easy to make.

Fake Apple Pie A La Mode – by ME!
Chunky homemade applesauce – check out my Apple A Day entry for recipe
Cinnamon cookies – check out my Master Baker entry for recipe
1 scoop vanilla ice cream – I used Tofutti

Heat applesauce in microwave until warm, about 45 seconds.

Crumble cookies over warm applesauce.

Top with scoop of ice cream.

ENJOY!

I’ve been anxious to try rhubarb but after many trips to the grocery store missed the season. (it sold out-FAST!) Did you use fresh or frozen rhubarb? I just saw the frozen kind and have been thinking about giving it a try.

Ingrid – I made this when I was home in the Midwest back in June. It seems easier to find out there than in the East Coast where I live. We use fresh and I’ve never used frozen although my dad does freeze his for the rhubarb rolls I made a few weeks ago too. I should have grabbed a ton and froze it myself…

I made these for a 4th of July party. we ran out of fresh and had to use frozen rhubarb, which tasted fine, we couldnt tell the difference (but we also had the fresh mixed in). Although I would suggest cutting the frozen pieces up a bit more- they came out of the bag huge! ~Jen’s older-younger sister

I really need to try rhubarb. I am afraid I won’t like it, but this looks like a great recipe!
