If you follow the Creative Juice Blog then you already know that I, Mindy Starr, have an obsession with macarons. And recently I have wanted to push the limits by creating unique shaped macarons - not just your typical macarons! It has taken a lot of trial and error - especially with baking time and temp but I am excited to share with you one of our recent macarons, and they perfect for Fall CARAMEL APPLE PIE FILLING we filled them with!
