Apple-Cherry Crisp with dried apples


I've been organizing space for some of my new food storage items I got recently, and have wanted to try out the dehydrated apples. Today I made this tasty dessert which I got from the Pampered Chef's It's Good For You cookbook. It's in the oven right now and I'll add a photo later tonight. I hope it's good!

Step One--prepare apple and cherry mixture
  • 6 cups dehydrated apple slices, rehydrated with 3 cups boiling water
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
Pour fruit mixture into casserole dish or rectangle pan.

Step Two--prepare streusel topping
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 of a stick) butter
  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 1 cup old-fashioned or quick oats
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Melt butter, then mix in remaining ingredients. Spread topping over top of fruit mixture. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Serve with Cool Whip, whipped cream or ice cream. Delicious!

This sounds really yummy. I'd make me some, except I have no dehydrated apples. I do have potato pearls, though. Do you think they'd work instead? ;)

Kelly, I am a crisp FANATIC!! And this crisp looks delicious! So did you use the dried apples that you get from the church cannery? Or at least something similar? I'm really curious - I love it when I can use my food storage for meals that taste GOOD :)

Yes, Maryanne! It's using my apples from the cannery! They are a tasty snack by themselves too. Chrsitopher took some to school today in a zippered plastic bag.

Robin, I have yet to try out the potato pearls, but I have heard they are really tasty.

By the way, it's ABOUT a half of a #10 can from the LDS family canning.

That looks so yummy. Maybe I will randomly stop into your place to have a bite.

Mmm. Looks good. I'm not so much of a cherry fan, but I'll have to try that one.

This is great timing--I am teaching provident living classes once a month, essentially on getting and using food storage. I will use this when I teach about oats next month. And yes, the potato pearls are delish--and low fat! We love them.

Pralines and Dreams

I considered myself to be a decent cook and baker.  However, candy making had been unchartered territory until I recently cracked the code of a favorite—chewy Texas Pecan Pralines.  This culinary epiphany came only days before I left my home sweet home in Austin, Texas, to return to CU Boulder after an epic hiatus to wrap up my bachelor’s degree in journalism. When I was a little girl, I remember tasting heavenly, creamy homemade pralines, bursting with pecans, handcrafted with love by my mom.  She only whipped them up a few times, but I just couldn’t get the memory of those buttery, sugary treats out of my head.  They were  that  good.  I asked her if she still had the recipe, but I knew it would be hopeless since my mom wasn’t one for keeping track of her down-home style cooking. I married my college sweetheart, a guy with the same first name as me, and began teaching myself to cook.  Becoming “Kelly Times Two” was amazing, and I had ...

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...
