A Couple Good Recipes

Here are a couple of recipes that my family and I have tried over the holidays and they are awesome! I hope you try these and enjoy as much as we have...

Apple-Dew Tart
2 cans of Crescent Rolls
3 Granny Smith apples
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of butter (1 stick), melted
1 tsp cinnamon (plus more, for sprinkling on top)
1 12oz can of Mountain Dew

*Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat a 13x9 baking dish or pan with a non-stick spray.
*Peel and slice each apple into 16 pieces. Wrap apples in crescent rolls, and place rolled slices in pan, making 2 rows.
*Place additional apple slices between the rolled slices and between the rows.
*Mix melted butter, sugar and cinnamon together. Pour mixture over wrapped apples.
*Pour the can of mountain dew over all ingredients in pan.
*Bake 45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with ice cream.

Little Smokie Beer Appetizers
1 package of Little Smokies (1 lb & 1 can beer - may need less watch the sauce)
1 jar of BBQ sauce (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 TBS ketchup
1 tps mustard

*Put the smokies in a skillet with the beer and simmer for about 10 minutes.
*Drain the smokies and put in the crock pot with the BBQ sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup and mustard. If the mixture looks too thick, add a little beer - not much. Just a splash or so as indicated.
*Let these simmer along a couple of hours.
