Georgia So this past Friday a group of people thought it would be a good idea to storm area 51. I think the only good thing to come out of it was some grown man running like Naruto and these cupcakes I made for our Area 51 party at work!! One co-worker even pulled up a chair to tell me that these were even better than the champagne cupcakes I made for her birthday last year. They were all gone.. Oh and the decorations are super cool alien rings. People running like Naruto, several detained because they didn't quite understand the repercussions of storming a military facility, a fun party to celebrate with alien cupcakes to celebrated the stupidity.. Banner week.. Amy For some reason I had a taste for granola and I remembered that 3191 Miles Apart: A Year Between Friends has a terrific granola recipe. Funny enough it's in the September section of the book. So I made a big batch of granola. But that isn't the recipe I'm sharing with you. It's this recipe from Olwen Woodier's Apple Cookbook that I am sharing with. Maple Apple Crisp You can substitute apple-pie filling fir fresh apples if you are in a rush. 1 cup granola 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup ( 1 stick) butter 4 large apples( Winesap, Ida Red, Northern Spy" Braeburn) 1/3 cup pure maple syrup 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a deep 2-quart baking dish. 2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the granola, oats, sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon. Using your fingers, blend the butter into the mixture. 3. Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/4-inch slices. Place in the baking dish and sprinkle with maple syrup and lemon juice. 4. Cover completely with the granola mixture and bake for 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired. 6-8 servings This is what you call a fool-proof recipe friends. Happy Baking!
