How did I get this recipe?

The first time I saw this recipe, it left a lasting impression on me. It was a sweltering summer day and I was visiting my Aunt Edna’s house. As soon as I stepped through the door, I was hit with a blast of cool air from the air conditioning. Aunt Edna greeted me with a smile and led me into the kitchen where she was busy preparing snacks for us.

I watched as she pulled out a tray of Frozen Apple Oatmeal Sandwiches from the freezer. The sight of those perfectly round, oatmeal cookies sandwiching a creamy apple filling made my mouth water. Aunt Edna handed me one and I took a bite, savoring the sweet and tangy flavors that exploded in my mouth.

“Mmm, these are delicious!” I exclaimed. “Where did you learn to make these?”

Aunt Edna chuckled and replied, “Oh, I got this recipe from a friend of mine many years ago. She used to make them for our picnics in the park. They’re a family favorite now.”

I was intrigued and asked her to show me how to make them. Aunt Edna was more than happy to teach me and that day, I learned the secret to making the most delectable Frozen Apple Oatmeal Sandwiches.

To make these mouthwatering treats, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup of oats

- 1 cup of flour

- 1/2 cup of sugar

- 1/2 cup of butter, softened

- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

- 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce

- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar

To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a dough.

Next, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough. Place the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

While the cookies are baking, prepare the apple filling. In a small saucepan, heat the applesauce over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool.

Once the cookies are done baking, let them cool completely. Spread a generous amount of the apple filling on one cookie and top it with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Finally, dust the sandwiches with powdered sugar and place them in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until they are frozen solid. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing taste of Frozen Apple Oatmeal Sandwiches.

I have made these Frozen Apple Oatmeal Sandwiches countless times since that day at Aunt Edna’s house. They have become a staple dessert at family gatherings and potlucks. Every time I bite into one, I am transported back to that summer day, surrounded by loved ones and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

I am grateful to Aunt Edna for sharing this recipe with me and for inspiring my love for cooking. It is through recipes like these that we can create lasting memories and bring joy to those around us. So go ahead, whip up a batch of Frozen Apple Oatmeal Sandwiches and share them with your loved ones. I guarantee they will be a hit!
