Hello Folks!!!  This has been a busy week. A belated Happy Thanksgiving to all my family and friends here in the US!!  And Happy Birthday today to my wonderful husband!!!
This week, as many families do, we got together for Thanksgiving dinner.  My contributions were corn pudding, apple crisp, and pumpkin pie.  So my morning was busy cooking.  My sister-in-law said, "I thought you would do all your baking yesterday."  And my reply was, "If I am not making the whole meal, then why not have fresh desserts!"  I had to make my house smell somewhat of Thanksgiving. lol
My hubby is not a cake fan, so again yesterday, I baked pumpkin pie again.  This is one of his favorite desserts, and he gets overload on it during November and December, and if we celebrate my Canadian Thanksgiving, then he gets it again in October!!

Well, on to my recipes for today.

Corn Pudding

2 eggs beaten
1 cup sour cream
1 box Jiffy cornmeal  muffin mix
1/2 cup margarine, melted
1/3 cup onion, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddat cheese
1 can cream style corn
1 can whole kernel corn, drained

Whisk together each ingredient in the order it comes to make a smooth mixture. Pour into a well buttered 2 qt. dish.  Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45-55 minutes, or until the top begins to golden and crack, and the sides begin to pull away from the casserol dish, and the muffin mixture feels done.

Ingredients

Nice and smooth texture

Yummy, golden edges

Cracking on the top, but I did cook this for another 10 minutes.

Apple Crisp

7 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced.

Topping
2 cups flour
2 cups rolled oats - quick cooking
2 cups lightly packed brown sugar
2 tsps. cinnamon - heaping

Combine these ingredients, and then cut in,

1 cup butter or margarine.

 Take 1/4 of your crumb mixture, and toss it in with your apples.  Place sliced apples in a well buttered 9x13 pan. They should look like they almost fill the pan.  Cover with remaining mixture, and pat down. 
Bake at 350 degrees F.  for 40 - 50 minutes, or until your apples are tender.

Please note : This mixture can be cut in half, but the family here likes lots of crisp, and when using Granny Smith Apples, they can be a little tart, and this crumb makes a nice balance for the tart to the sweet.

Also, if made ahead, can be placed back in the oven at 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes to reheat, and then serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Granny Smith's all peeled, cored, and sliced.

As you can see, the pan is well buttered.

Crumb Mixture

Yummy, I love my pastry blender for cutting in the butter.

About 1/4 of mixture tossed with the apples.

Can smell the cinnamon and makes your mouth water.

Rest of crumb mixture patted on top.

Ready to put in oven.

Crisp is done and smells awesome!!!

Look at those oats!!! Smell the sweetness of the brown sugar!!

Well, I hope you have enjoyed my blog for today.  I trust you all will have a wonderful weekend.  Another busy one with practising for the Christmas Musical!!!  Later, my friends, and God Bless!
