Everyone who owns a home recognizes the need for fire insurance. We hope and pray that there will never be a fire. Nevertheless, we pay for insurance to cover such a catastrophe, should it occur. We ought to do the same with reference to family welfare. President Hinckley, Nov Ensign 2002

HAVING FUN WITH DRIED APPLES

Dried apples are an excellent snack right out of the can.

To reconstitute them, use equal parts of Dried Apples to boiling water. For example:

2 Cups dried apples 2 Cups boiling water

Let this stand at least 5 minutes. If you put this mixture through the blender, you will have applesauce. For variety, you may add 3 Tbsp. Cinnamon Heart Candy (or "Red Hots") to the mixture before you let it stand, or try some cinnamon and sugar mix in it.

APPLE CRISP

6 peeled apples ½ Cup packed brown sugar

½ Cup sugar 1 Cup rolled oats

2 Tbsp. water ½ tsp. cinnamon

4 Tbsp. butter Or margarine ½ Cup chopped nuts,

1 tsp. grated lemon peel optional

Slice 6 peeled apples (or you may use the equivalent dried apple slices reconstituted) and spread in greased 8x8 inch baking pan. Sprinkle water and ½ cup sugar onto apples. Mix the remaining ingredients and spread over apples. Bake at 350' F. for 45 minutes or until tender. Serve warm or cold. You may top with ice cream or whipped cream. You may also substitute hydrated dried apples, but cut down baking time 10 minutes.

APPLE BROWN BETTY

Pour 2 Cups boiling water over 4 Cups dried apples. Let stand 5 min.

TOPPING: Mix the following ingredients well.

½ Cup flour 1/4 Cup oatmeal

½ tsp. cinnamon 1/4 Cup brown sugar firmly packed

Then cut in 1/4 Cup butter. Place the apples and liquid remaining in a greased 9x9-inch pan. Sprinkle topping over the apples. Bake at 350' F. for 55 minutes.
