Moist Apple Crisp
A moister version of apple crisp with a thick sauce for extra moistness. I've used this recipe for many years and always get requests for the recipe when I make it. Tastes great served warm with vanilla ice cream!
Roasted Butternut Squash with Onions, Spinach, and Cranberries
A delicious deviation from the typical squash preparation, this recipe has kind of a nutty flavor with or without the nuts. Good as-is, but of course each person can salt and pepper their own serving to taste. The leftovers are good served as a cold salad if you don't like the cooked spinach that results from re-heating. Almonds and walnuts can be used in addition to or instead of the pecans.
