Apple Sauce

                                                              From: Miss Dilg  

1 bag of any kind apples                    cinnamon

sugar                                                water

Peel & core all apples.  Cook the apples for about 2-3 hours on low heat.  Add a little bit of water so that the apples on the bottom of the pan do not burn.  Stir the apples & mash them when they have reduced.  Add sugar, if needed.  You can serve the applesauce hot or cold.  Add cinnamon for taste.     


Apple Crumb Pie

                                                             From: Miss Dilg  

1/4 of an apple, cored                        1/4 slice bread

1 tsp.  brown sugar                            1 pat butter or margarine

1 sprinkle of cinnamon

Chop the apple into small pieces.  Place in lined cupcake pan.  Tear the bread into tiny pieces.  Place on top of apple.  Add brown sugar.  Add butter or margarine.  Sprinkle with cinnamon.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.  


Apple Strudel

                                                                From: Jim

3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced

½ cup butter (melted)

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup cinnamon

3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs

4 sheets phyllo dough sheets (thawed according to package directions)  

Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.   Spread one phyllo dough sheet open,  brush with melted butter.   Sprinkle 1/4 of the cinnamon/sugar mixture and 1/4 of the bread crumbs over the entire dough sheet.  Add another phyllo dough sheet over the top of the cinnamon/sugar and bread crumbs, spread with melted butter and continue in the same manner as the first layer.  Continue with the remaining 2 dough sheets.   After the last layer is completed, place the prepared apples in a line about 2 inches from the long edge of the dough rectangle.  Depending upon the tartness of the apples, you may wish to add 1/4 cup additional cinnamon/sugar over the top of the apples (I usually do.  This is above and beyond the sugar included above.)

After placing the apples along the long edge of the dough, roll up the dough, with the apples in it, jelly roll style.  Position the roll so the seam is on the bottom during baking.  Bake in a pan with sides to prevent spilling in the oven.  Bake at 325 degrees for 35-40 minutes.  Apples should be soft and dough should be golden brown.
