Spiced apple parcels



Whenever we go to Macdonalds, my daughter would also order an apple pie to go with her BigMac meal.  She just love it so much.  In fact, while eating this homemade one, she was already requesting another version of Apple pie already.:)









They are actually not as sweet, my kids just kept eating one after another last night for supper. They had it with ice cream too, really good.
