Apple Crisp

I usually do not care for fruit type desserts, but this one is delicious. And perfect for this time of year.

Apple Crisp

10 cups apples, peeled, cored and sliced (i prefer granny smith)
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup water

Topping
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter, melted

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Place the sliced apples in a 9x13" pan. Mix the sugar, 1 Tbsp. flour, and cinnamon together. Sprinkle over the apples. Pour water evenly over all.

3. Combine the topping ingredients together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.

4. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.

This is excellent by itself or with a scoop of vanilla icecream. Yum!

Toffee Bars

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Cream together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla. Combine flour and salt and add to butter mixture. Mix together.

Press into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake for 25-30 min at 350.

Sprinkle the top of baked bars with chocolate chips. Wait about 5 minutes then spread over the top.

Cheesecake Supreme

Cheescake Supreme (this is Bekah's)

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (I just did one pkg.)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
5 pkg (8 oz each) cream cheese
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 Tbls. flour
grated rind of 1 lemon
3 tsp vanilla extract
5 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup heavy cream

Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter. Butter a 10-inch spring form pan 2 1/4 inches deep and press crumb mixture onto bottom and sides of pan. Beat cheese until fluffy. Mix sugar and flour; gradually blend into cheese. Add grated rind and vanilla. Add eggs and egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in cream. Turn into crust. Bake at 500 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and bake 1 hour longer (bake until the center is just about set). Remove from oven and place away from drafts until cooled. Refrigerate until cold, then remove sides of pan and put cake on serving plate. Makes 12 servings.
