APPLE CRISP

Here's my mom's apple crisp recipe - I love it with vanilla ice cream!

8 cups sliced apples
1.5 cups crown sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup quick oats
1.5 tsp cinnamon
1.5 nutmeg
2/3 cup margarine (soft)

Bake at 375 degrees. Apples on bottom. Mixed remaining ingredients on top. (Mix crisp before slicing apples so they don’t go brown). Bake about 30 minutes, until crust is golden brown and apples are tender.

RASPBERRY PRETZEL DESSERT

I love this recipe! Well, I guess I have always loved raspberries and pretzels - so it's perfect for me.

2 c pretzel sticks pre-crushed
3 tbsp sugar
¾ c butter (melted)
1 pkg cream cheese (8 oz.)
2 pkg frozen raspberries
1 pkg cool whip (12 oz. or more)
1 lg box raspberry jell-o
2 c boiling water

Mix sugar and butter than pour over crushed pretzels and mix all together. Pat into 9 x 13” pan and bake at 400° for 7 minutes. Let cool. Mix cream cheese with cool whip and spread on pretzel layer. It works better when the cool whip and cream cheese have been thawed a bit. Mix jell-o and water. Stir in frozen raspberries. Pour over second layer. Refrigerate overnight.

FAST SUNDAY WHEAT BREAD

I got this recipe from my young women's leader, C. Toolson. She made homemade wheat bread for the sacrament every Fast Sunday. It was neat and delicious - the ward looked forward to it. The recipe allows for some of your own interpretation - she didn't follow a recipe.

7 cups water (microwaved for 4 minutes)
1 cup oil (or less)
1.5 cup honey (or more)
3 tbsp SAF yeast
2 tbsp salt
16 cups whole wheat flour (approximately)
Pam

Knead/mix the ingredients for about fifteen minutes. Let it rise until doubled and then pinch down. Spray lots of Pam on the bread pans. And bake until it smells done - about 30 minutes.

PUMPKIN SPICE COOKIES

This recipe is so easy to make and great for the Holidays. I got it from a friend in our ward, P. Jarvis.

Vegetable Spray (Pam)
Spice Cake mix (18.25 ounce)
1 can solid packed pumpkin (15 ounce)


Preheat oven to 350°F and spray cookie sheet(s) lightly with the vegetable spray. In a large bowl, mix the box of spice cake mix and the can of pumpkin together until well blended. Drop rounded spoonfuls onto the greased cookie sheet. The cookies don't flatten so however you place them on the cookie sheet is how they look after baking. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. They are delicious!
