Baked Apples

A nice little treat on a blustery, brisk, fall day....or a good little General Conference break snack.

4 medium apples, washed

1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup raisins
cinnamon candies (optional)

While Momma cuts top of apples off, cores them and places them upside down in a large microwave safe dish. (something like and 8X8 Pyrex) Kendra measures and mixes the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Pack each apple first with raisins, pushing them to the bottom of the apple to kind of seal them, add a few cinnamon candies (if desired) and then pack the rest of the apple core with the sugar mixture. Little fingers work well to get all the ingredients nice and tight in there. Then pour apple juice into bottom of dish. Place dish in microwave and heat at full power for 3 minutes. Basts apples with juice from bottom of dish (a Mom job) and heat another 3 -5 minutes until apples are tender. Take out and let cool a good 5 - 10 minutes - will be VERY HOT. With a large spoon, place each apple in a bowl, (slice it up for the little ones) then spoon the juices over each apples. Can be served with a nice sized scoop of frozen yogurt or vanilla ice cream.

Candy Apple Salad

It seems as though all we have posted so far is sweets. I promise we eat many other things! Maybe it's just that these are the things that are easier for Kendra to help with right now, such as this recipe. With a little verbal instruction Kendra can make this one all by her self.

Note: amounts of ingredients vary every time we make this. So just let loose and give your 4 year old the go ahead.

2-4 apples, any kind you would like.
2 reg size snicker bars or 8 fun size.
about a half of a bag of mini marshmallows (or more if you are 4)
one reg size tub of cool whip

Place the Snicker bars in the freezer about 20 minutes before you make this. It really makes it easier!
Clean, core and cut apples into small bite sized pieces.
Remove Snickers from freezer, while still in the wrapper hit with a hammer a few times to break them up into small pieces (SO much easier than trying to cut through all the Carmel and nougat)
In a large bowl combine apples, broken Snickers, half a bag of mini marshmallows and a full tub of cool whip. Stir and serve cold. Enjoy

Ants On a Log

You need:
a knife, a cutting board, paper towels and:
* Celery
* Peanut butter
* Raisins
* Cream cheese
* Seasoning salt

Wash celery and dry with paper towel. Cut celery into 3 inch pieces. Just fill with either peanut butter or cream cheese. Top the peanut butter with raisins. Sprinkle the cream cheese with seasoning salt. You can peal the back side of the celery if you are making it for my little brothers because it's hard for them to chew the strings until the get bigger teeth.
