Famous Kelly Peanut Butter Popcorn

We always serve this out of a bowl and not as popcorn balls.

Cheesecake Cupcakes

Posted here in it's original form. A well worn recipe card with lots of use! Sometimes we put a vanilla wafer at the bottom of the cupcake paper liner before adding the cream cheese mixture. It makes a little crust for the mini cheesecake.

Thirty minutes is too long...about 22 will do. Then add the topping and bake for 5 more minutes.

Emily's Best Apple Crisp in ze World!

• I double the crisp part (ingredients listed on the crisp section are the original, not the doubled amounts) because you can never have enough. 
• 
  
• Also, once the crisp is ready for the apples I add about a quarter of the crisp and mix it a bit into the apples so the crisp is throughout the apples. Then add the rest of it on the top. 
• 
  
• 10 cups all-purpose apples, peeled, cored and sliced
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup water
•  
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place the sliced apples in a 9x13 inch pan. Mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and ground cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples. Pour water evenly over all.
3. Combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture. (**See above for suggestion**)
4. Bake at 350 degrees F  for about 45 minutes.
