Jack Frost and Apple Cobbler

I apologize for the dark and graininess {I'm not sure if that's even a word} of this picture.  But I just had to share with you the favorite spot in the house this evening.  So many of us are experiencing some frigid temperatures and here in sweet Carolina we haven't managed to get out of the 20's today.  We have had a nice mixture of sleet and freezing rain, which, is there really a difference?...They're both ice, right?  Schools were in session for about an hour and a half this morning and the work day was cut short by Mr. Jack Frost himself.  

Down south, we don't play around when it comes to winter weather.  No sir, we get prepared!  We cancel school, close businesses, and cancel plans for the next week, just in case.  Then we go home and pray for lots and lots of snow.  Well, enough to keep us home but not too much to keep us stranded.  And our pantries, well, that's the most important part for us Southerners...if the weather man mentions ice or snow, Mama rushes off to the grocery store dragging the whole family along, because heaven forbid we have no milk or bread.  What would we do without our milk sandwiches?  Really, milk and bread?  For what?   

I would say French toast but we would also need to make sure we had eggs and cinnamon, and butter...can't forget the butter.  And if we're gonna have french toast, we are definitely gonna need some bacon with that.  And a glass of orange juice.  And syrup.  Or we could have Peanut Butter and Banana Roll-Overs with a big glass of ice cold milk.  But we would need peanut butter and bananas, too.  

Speaking of ice cold milk... I haven't told y'all about how much I absolutely love our new house have I?  One of my favorite parts about our new homestead is ice cold milk!....Ahhhhhhhh!  See, at our old house, the refrigerator, well, let's just say it was in it's last days.  In the winter, the milk was nice and chilled, but in the summer, milk was a little iffy.  And 2012 was a long, hot summer, which meant warm, lumpy milk.  Here, we have a new refrigerator and the ice cold milk is here to stay!

On this cold and wintry eve, I thought I would share a heartwarming recipe with you.  It's super easy and it doesn't require milk or bread!  But a glass of milk served along side would hit the spot.

All you need is a jar of canned Apple Pie Filling and 2 packs of Crescent Rolls and butter.  

We'll call this the... 

4 Ingredients or Less Apple Cobbler!

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Grab you a 9 x 12 baking dish and grease it up.  Open and  place one of the packs of crescent rolls in the bottom of the dish, pressing the seems together to make one big piece of dough.  Then, open the pie filling and pour over the dough.  Cut a few slices of butter over top the apple mixture and then open your other can of crescent rolls.  Tear along the seams into triangles and lay them on top of the apples, as shown below.

Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until filling is bubbly and top is golden.  Like I said, this would be delicious with a glass of milk, or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and cup of coffee.

The rest of you southerners can have your milk sandwiches... but as for this household, we will enjoy some 4 ingredients or less apple cobbler! 

{Confession... just like any southern girl would do, I did go buy milk and bread...my Mama taught me well, I reckon}
