Caramel Apple Pie
I got this original recipe from Bonnie, then I found this variation in a book that I bought. I like the variation better than the original. It makes a delicious pie. I use Granny Smith apples. They are crisp and tart and are great for pie.
Serves 8
Crust for 1 double pie
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
3/4 cup sugar
2 TBS flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 TBS lemon juice
6 cups sliced, peeled cooking apples (6 medium)
TOPPING:
1/3 cup caramel ice cream topping
1/4 cup chopped pecans
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place bottom crust in 9-inch glass pie pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans in bottom of crust-lined pan.
In large bowl, mix sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently stir in apples and lemon juice. Spoon into crust-lined pan. Top with second crust; seal edge and flute. Cut slits in top crust. Brush crust with water; sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. After 15 to 20 minutes of baking time, cover edges of crust with foil to prevent excessive browning. Cool at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve warm pie drizzled with caramel topping and sprinkled with 1/4 cup chopped pecans.

Variation: Omit pecans. In bottom of crust-lined pan spread 1/2 cup caramel topping mixed with 2 TBSP flour. Instead of 3/4 cup sugar, use 1/2 cup packed brown sugar.

Meatloaf Burgers
My mom taught me how to make these. I'm not much of a hamburger eater. It has to be very good for me to enjoy it. I rarely cook hamburger patties. But I like these and eat them fairly often. Very easy and quick. They freeze well after mixed and then you can thaw and cook for a quick meal. I serve with roasted potatoes or hashbrowns and whatever veggie I'm in the mood for.
1 pound extra lean hamburger
1/2 cup chili sauce (You can use catsup, but it's not quite as good)
2 Tablespoons prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup old fashioned oatmeal
pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients until well combined. Shape into 4 patties; and grill 7 minutes on each side until done. Serve with catsup or barbeque sauce.
(I sometimes use half catsup and half chili sauce.)
