APPLES

APPLE NUT MUFFINS
McCleve Cookbook (2nd edition) pg. 21
We all really liked. Makes lots of muffins. Takes some time to make.

DUTCH APPLE CAKE
Taste of Home pg. 252
Start preparing 3 hours in advance. We thought it was okay - kinda plain. Tasted better the next day. The homemade cinnamon ice cream made it better. Went well together.

APPLE-HAM GRILLED CHEESE
Taste of Home pg. 64
Scott really likes, I am not a huge fan of grilled sandwiches with velveeta.

SPINACH APPLE SALAD
Taste of Home pg. 65
A fun salad to make - we liked.

APPLESAUCE JELLO
Taylor Relief Society pg. 30
Good, thick. We have tried both peach and cherry. Liked both. Good way to use applesauce.

APPLE PIE SPREAD
found in the Friend - very easy to make and yummy. Next time I would cut the apples smaller.
4 cooking apples (anything except red delicious)
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cloves

Peel and core apples. Cut into 4 pieces (or smaller). Put apples in a glass dish and pour cider over them. Cover the dish with a lid. Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir. Put the lid back on and stir for 2 more minutes. Stir again and then cook for another 2 minutes.

Stir in all the other items. Put back into microwave and then don't cover the bowl. Cook on high for 10 minutes, stirring a few times. When the spread is thick, it is ready.

Can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

SWEET POTATO APPLE BAKE
Yummy! Easy to make. Made 1/2 of the recipe and put in round stoneware. A perfect side dish to pork or chicken.
6 medium tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup quick-oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp each of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 TBL butter or margarine, melted
In a greased shallow 2-1/2 qt. baking dish, combine the apples and sweet potatoes. Combine the remaining ingredients; sprinkle over apple/potato mixture. Cover and bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake 15-20 mintues longer or until apples and potatoes are tender.
