Hi Everyone! I didn't think Friday was EVER going to get here. Fall is really in the air and it is quite chilly out.

I remember as a kid going to apple fields and picking containers and containers of apples to bring home and use in delectable dishes. I've had one group member ask for something to do with all the apple they have picked and decided to share a couple of Mom's family recipes with the group in case anyone else in the group gets into this predicament. You must bear with me, this is my first time sharing baking recipes. Enjoy!

The recipes I have are:

Apple Date Oatmeal Cookies
Eloda Berkin

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup old-fashioned oats, uncooked
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup cored, chopped apples
1/2 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup sunflower seeds

Sift together flours, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; stir in oats. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Gently stir in dry ingredients, fold in apples, dates, and sunflower seeds. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-19 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from sheet; cool thoroughly on wire racks. Store in plastic containers with seals.

Yield: About two dozen cookies.


Apple Crisp
Eloda Berkin

6 cup sliced apple
1/3 cup sifted flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
2/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup butter

Pre-heat oven at 375 degrees. Arrange apples in greased baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix flour, oats and sugar. Cut in butter till mixture resembles coars bread crumbs. Sprinkle over apples. Bake till apples are tender and topping is lightly browned, (for 35-40 minutes). Yields: 6 servings.

This recipe is one that I had 11 years ago while visiting my aunt. I fell in love with it and think about it every Halloween.

Apple Snicker Salad
Joyce Boyer

This is a perfect snack for Halloween because that is when the mini snickers are readily available. My aunt made it for us when we were visiting.

6 cored, chopped apples, skin left on
6-8 frozen mini snicker bars
1 container Cool Whip topping

Put frozen Snicker bars into zip lock bag and break into small pieces using rubber mallot. Mix apples and broken Snicker bars together. Just before serving mix in the Cool Whip.
