This easy apple pie recipe belongs to my mother. I make it all the time when I want a simple homemade pie. I love it! I often add a dash of nutmeg to the apple filling.

Better Than Fruitcake Cookies
This recipe makes over 12 dozen small cookies... a great substitution for holiday fruitcake . You can substitute rum-soaked dried apricots and dates instead of glacee'd cherries and figs for an equally tasty cookie.
Easy Baked Beef Brisket
Not only is this apple and onion smothered beef brisket easy and delicious, it's also very fast (for a brisket recipe)! Cooking it low and slow often results in dried-out meat, so instead we dial up the temperature slightly and bake it in about half the time to ensure it's both tender and moist.
