Kelsey's Apple Dessert
My friend Kelsey sent this to me. I haven't made it yet, but it sounds REALLY good! Might have to add some of these ingredients to my grocery list for next week...mmmmmmm.
About 8 cups of apples, peeled, cored, sliced (I like Braeburn or Gala but obviously Granny Smith are the typical ones to use in baking)
1 14 oz can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
1.5 - 2 tsp Cinnamon (depending on if you like a lot of cinnamon or not)
1/2 cup cold butter
4 Tbsp cold butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 cups Bisquick, separated
2/3 cup Heath crunch bits o'brickle (toffee bits) bits (can be found by the chocolate chips)
Put the apples in a large bowl. Pour the Sweetened Condensed milk over top of them and stir to coat. Sprinkle the cinnamon over top and stir to coat again and set aside. In another bowl, cut 1/2 cup butter into 1 cup of the Bisquick until it's crumbly. Pour this into the apple mixture and then stir to evenly distribute the Bisquick mix. It will be lumpy and gooey. Dump the mix into a 9x13 baking dish.
Place remaining 1 cup Bisquick and 1 cup brown sugar in a bowl and mix well. Cut in 4 Tbsp butter until crumbly. Put this over top of the entire apple mix. Sprinkle the 2/3 cup Heath bits over top of the sugar and Bisquick mix. Bake at 325 for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
It's rich and a little goes a long way. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream. :)

Hummas - Simple and Delicious!
My friend Carol George sent me this recipe a while ago and I love it. It is a GREAT starting point for all the varying types of hummas you can make. I made it this morning and will be snacking on it for several days.
1 can drained garbanzos (save juice)
3-4 cloves sliced garlic
~1/2 c garbanzo juice (I adjust as I'm blending...usually start w/ 1/4 c and keep adding til consistency is right)
1/4 c or so chopped fresh cilantro (not packed down))
1/6 c tahini
1/8 c lemon juice (usually add a little more than that)
1/2-3/4 tsp sea salt
~2 Tbsp olive oil (usually start w/ 1 or 1.5 tbsp and adjust when blending)
~1/2 tsp cumin
Paprika
Parsley
A little cayenne pepper
Other random spices depending on flavoring I want. I added a little of the mrs dash garlic & herb this batch which was really good
I definitely adjust oil and juice amts. Seems some brands of beans need more than others. Hope you enjoy it!
