Apple Recipes

Whole Grain Crockpot Breakfast
from my friend, Summer, who took it from the book "Super Baby Food"
2 c. brown rice
3 peeled and chopped apples
1/2 c. raisins
8 c. water
1 t. cinnamon
Put in a crockpot on low overnight. Sweeten to taste with honey or brown sugar. The original recipe calls for 5 cups, but Summer found it wasn't enough. Supper yummy!

Honey Applesauce Cake
from "Recipes from the Hive"
1/2 c. softened butter
1 c. honey
1 1/2 c. applesauce
3 c. flour
2 t. soda
1/2 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. cloves
1/2 t. nutmeg
1 c. chopped nuts
1 c. raisins
Grease a 9x13 pan and line the bottom with waxed paper. Cream the butter until light and fluffy. Blend in the honey and applesauce. Add mixture of sifted dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes. Stir in nuts and raisins. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 325 for one hour (40 min. was enough) or until cake tests done. Invert onto wire rack to cool, remove paper. Dust with confectioners sugar, if desired. This recipe was a blue ribbon winner at the 2002 Spokane Interstate Fair.

Karin's Apple Bake Breakfast
from my friend Karin
6 eggs
1 1/2 c. milk
1 c. flour
3 T. sugar
1 t. vanilla
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/2 c. butter
3 large apples, sliced and peeled
2 T. brown sugar
Preheat oven to 425. Place butter in 13x9 pan. Put in oven until butter melts. Add apple slices to butter and bake until butter sizzles (do not let it brown). Remove dish from oven. Meanwhile, combine eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until blended (batter will be slightly lumpy). Pour batter over apples and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake 30-40 minutes or until nicely browned and puffed up. Karin bakes hers for the full 40 minutes. Also, it will puff up a lot so don't have the oven rack highter than the middle or it will touch the top element.
