6th Day of Christmas Joy......

 

I love Lizzie Kate Santa's designs,

I wish I could stitch faster

&

get them all done!

 

I have some on the tree

and

some pillows here and there....

 

 

But that's all the pictures for today

I have a great recipe

for you!

 

Apple Cherry Crumble Bars

3 cups dried applies, 3/4 cup dried cherries

1 3/4 cups apple cider

3/4 cup light brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

2 cups oats

1.5 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 sticks cold butter cut in small pieces.

Simmer applies, cherries and cider in a covered saucepan,

stir occasionally, until fruits are soft about 5 minutes.

Drain, reserving 2 TBSP liquid.  Let cool.

Chop fruit add 2 tbsp. sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon & liquid.

Stir together oats, flour, baking soda, salt, remaining sugar &

remaining cinnamon in a large bowl.

Cut in butter until crumbs are the size of peas and

maybe a little larger..  Press 4 cups of oat mixture

into bottom of a 9 x 13 buttered pan.  Spread fruit filling

on top leaving a border around the edges.  Sprinkler remaining

mixture on top.  Bake in a 375 degree oven for about

35 minutes.  Let cool.

These will make 24 bars and maybe just maybe

keep for 3 days, hmmmm
