Apple Crisp...

You can't go wrong with a big pan of Apple Crisp...sometimes to cheat a little when I am pressed for time I just open a jar of our canned apple pie filling to use for the filling. When time allows it is completely worth it to take the time to slice the apples though...

- 4 Tbsp flour blend

- 1 tsp cinnamon

- 1 cup water

* Topping:

- 1 cup brown sugar

- 1 cup oats

- 1 cup flour blend

- 2/3 cup vegan butter

* Mix together apple mix and pour in 9x13 cake pan

- mix topping together and sprinkle on top of apples

- Bake at 350' for 40-50 minutes

~ serve warm over ice-cream!

Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal Cups...

I am not a fan of oatmeal...but this is so yummy! A perfect bedtime snack! Super simple to make...I made ours even more simpler by simply using a jar of cream cheese frosting!

-1 cup Gluten Free Oats

- 1/2 cup applesauce...we used our chunky homemade sauce

- 1/2 cup rice milk

-1/2 vanilla

- 1 tsp cinnamon

- 3 Tbsp maple syrup {we used regular ol' syrup since we don't keep the maple syrup on hand!}

*Frosting:

- 4 Tbsp Powdered sugar

- 1/4-1/2 vanilla

- 1-2 tsp dairy free cream cheese

*Mix together oats, sauce, milk, vanilla, syrup and cinnamon in large bowl.

-Lightly grease small serving bowls- pour mixture into each bowl

- bake at 375' for 15-20 min

*Blend together frosting and put dollop of frosting in center of each oatmeal bowl after finished baking.

Granola

This is a recipe that my sister gave me...and I have no idea where she found it. It is very good...it has such good flavor. I ate this every day for snacks when I was pregnant...the molasses added just enough extra iron to my diet to keep me feeling good!

Blueberry Snack Cake...

This is a very yummy treat...we all love this snack! We mostly use frozen blueberries because fresh ones are not in season very long around here! I do add a little extra sugar when using frozen berries...otherwise the cake gets a bit tart. This makes a very good special breakfast food...
