Fall Yummies

HAPPY OCTOBER EVERYONE!!!!!

Here are a couple recipes that seem fitting for fall.  ENJOY!!!!!!

BACON FRIED SPICED APPLES
2 Tbsp. bacon drippings
2 apples, peeled, cored and ringed
1/3 C brown sugar packed
1 tsp. cinnamon

Warm the bacon drippings, add apple rings.  Cook for 2 - 3 minutes, then add brown sugar and spice.  Turn and cook till tender.
Use as a side, a dessert, or on top of oatmeal or pancakes.
Apples and bacon - my two favorites!



CREAM CHEESE APPLE DIP
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese - softened
1/4 C sugar
3/4 C brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 C toffee baking bits **optional

Blend cream cheese with sugars and vanilla.  Stir in toffee if using.
Serve at room temperature with apples slices.
Makes about  cups.
Refrigerate leftovers if there is any!!!!
**I thinking about adding crushed peanuts to the mix!  YUM



TEXAS CAVIAR
15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
15 oz. can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
15 oz. can corn, drained
16 oz. jar salsa
Stir all the ingredients together.  Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate several hours before serving.  Makes 4 cups.
Serve with chips.
**I'm thinking this would be good on top of toasted French bread, for a quick and easy lunch or dinner!  Maybe with a side salad.

Happy eating!

  1. WE sometimes make the apples with onions also, make sure to caramelize the onions along with the apples!

    My neighbor puts cinnamon in her cream cheese apple dip. I think maple syrup would be nice also.
