Apples Apples Everywhere

I used to make the most delicious apple/currant conserve, but I have no idea where the recipe is. I found this one, though, that's pretty much like it, except that it calls for raisins instead of currants. I think either one would be good. I left the nuts out when I made it, but that's purely a matter of taste. I didn't use any food color...it was already a pretty pink color from the apple peelings.

MISH: I love the idea of apple quesadillas, especially with the cheese and nuts added. The crockpot baked apples sounds like something I would love to make for my card group. Anyone know what's involved in making this? Thanks.

Heyyyyyyyy, where IS mish????

The apple, cheese, nut quesadilla is a fabulous idea for a wonderful snack!

Here's a stupid-easy recipe I found - just add your favorite nuts! Apple and Cheese Quesadilla

i just make my second one of these yesterday and I am very fond of this cake. I like the proportion of the ingredients; lotsa apples. I have cut down the sugar and it needs to be cut down even more. Yesterday I used 3/4 cup sugar and it still is very sweet, will try 1/2 cup next round. Apparently this is a centuries old recipe, lots of versions around..

Nobby Apple Cake

1 c sugar, or way less

3 c cored, diced tart apples (don't bother peeling)
1/4 c chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 F

Grease 8x8x2 pan
Cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Add vanilla.
Sift dry ingredients, and add to creamed. Stir in apples and nuts (sometimes I add raisins as well).
