Baked Apples

Cut apples into thick slices. Arrange in microwave-save 8 x 12 inch dish. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over the apples. Microwave on high for 11 minutes or until the apples are tender. Also easy to make in the crock pot. Cook on low 6 – 8 hours.
Serve warm or cold. Great on vanilla ice cream.

Chocolate Chip Bit Cake (dad’s favorite – we miss you D)
Prep Time: 15 minutes, Cook time: 40 minutes
2 ¼ cup flour
1 bag chocolate chips
1 cup milk
1 ½ cup sugar
½ cup butter flavored Crisco (works WAY better than butter – chips fall to the bottom if you use regular butter, or worse yet margarine)
2 ½ t. baking powder
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
Blend butter flavored Crisco and sugar then add remaining ingredients except chocolate chips. Pour ½ batter into a 9 x 12 pan, then add ½ chocolate, repeat. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.
