September 1997 Recipe
I have not specified a fruit for you to use -- after all, you know what you like to eat. A few suggestions
are peaches (my personal favorite), apricots, cherries, blueberries, blackberries, or apples. If you are
watching your weight, you can use skim milk to lower the fat and an artificial sweetner in place of the sugar.
You can use fresh, canned, or frozen fruit in this recipe. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine.

January 1998 Recipe
Apple Candy Pie
Taken from "Best-Tasting Healthy All-Time Favorites" published by CPG, Inc.
Take 4 to 6 medium sized apples, thinly sliced in a well-buttered pit plate. Season each layer
with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Over the top spread a
mixture of the following ingredients, all creamed together:
4 tbsp. light butter
1/2 c. sugar
1 beaten egg
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. broken nut meats (your choice of nuts)
Bake at 350 deg. for 50 minutes.
You can assemble the night before; you can also freeze the topping. Use aluminum foil under pan while baking.
February 1998 Recipe
Brownie Stew
2lbs lean ground beef or turkey
2 cans pork and beans
1 med. onion chopped
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Brown meat and combine with other ingredients in a medium
saucepan. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
This is a quick and easy main dish which my kids like better
than chili, because it's not so spicy hot.
There was no March 1998 Recipe due to an extended illness in the family.
