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 :)
Kelly said…
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.

Oooh, looks delish. I'm gonna have to try it. Thanks for sharing!

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.

Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party!

Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August?  My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things.  This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool!  As each girl shares

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan.  Who would have thoug

Elder Larson to return from Thailand soon

Soon is relative, I suppose. Our son has been away from home more than a year and a half as he has been volunteering as a full-time missionary in the Thailand Bangkok Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since September 14, 2016. He will be home in four months and is working so hard, knowing his time there is winding down. He has been assigned to train Elder Ben Meyer, from Sydney, Australia, as they serve in Ubon, Thailand. Christopher has been there since November. We are very proud of his dedication and hard work. This week in Thailand, the new prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, with his wife, Wendy Nelson, along with one of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, and his wife, Patricia Holland, will be on their world ministering tour and be where our son is. The Church members and missionaries in Thailand are very excited and happy for this special visit! I can't wait to hear how it goes, and I look forward to pictures and stories to come.
