When I don't have plans on a Saturday night...

Well, today my husband and I took his parents out to a late lunch/early dinner, so I didn't end up cooking dinner tonight. However, I did make a few desserts, something I don't make very often. I made apple pie squares. Basically, its apple pie filling with pie crust on the top and on the bottom, but not on the side. I also made cepets (not sure of the spelling, pronounced see-pets) with the extra pie dough. This is a tradition in my family. You take the extra pie dough and sprinkle it with cinnamon and sugar. Then you cut it into strips and roll it up like a cinnamon bun. Bake in the oven with your pie (or in this case with the bars).

The apple pie recipe I had used crisped rice cereal in it, and I didn't want the rest to go to waste. So...I made rice krispie treats. Can I just say, my apartment smells so good right now!
These are the apple pie bars fresh from the oven, before they are cut into bars. Once they have cooled, they will receive a drizzle of icing also.
And these are the cepets. I turned a couple around so you can see the rings of cinnamon. These are awesome! However, if you are not a cinnamon roll fan (can't think of why anyone wouldn't be, but just in case) You could also use cookie cutters to cut shapes out of extra dough and use the shapes as accents on the bars.
