Glitters Apple Butter Delight Food

APPLE DELIGHT

Steps:

• Divide apples into four 10-oz. microwave-safe bowls.
• Top each with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon and top each with 1 teaspoon butter.
• Cover and microwave on high for 7-1/2 minutes or until apples are tender.
• Cool slightly.
• We sometimes top with vanialla ice cream.

APPLE PEANUT BUTTER DELIGHTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Halve the muffins and spread a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter on each half. Layer the apple slices on the peanut butter. Mix the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a small bowl and sprinkle about 2 teaspoons on top of each muffin half.
• Put the muffin halves on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Set the oven to low broil and cook until bubbly and caramelized, about 3 minutes.

APPLE BUTTER CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• Place cream cheese, apple butter, vanilla, and cinnamon in the container of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until just smooth, about 20 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the container and process again until combined, if necessary.
• Scrape the spread into a small bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until slightly firm, about 30 minutes.

BUTTER BRICKLE FROZEN DELIGHT

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar until well mixed. Press lightly into bottom (compressing too hard will make it hard to cut) of a 9 inch springform pan (may, also, use a 9x13 inch pan). Bake 6 minutes, until set. Cool completely.
• For the butter brickle: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter and pecans until well mixed. Lightly pat onto a baking sheet. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until light brown. Crumble while still hot. Cool completely.
• For the filling: in the meantime, in large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in condensed milk until well blended. Fold in whipped topping.
• Spread half of the cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Sprinkle half of the prepared butter brickle over the cheese mixture and spread half of the caramel sauce over that. Repeat layers. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm, remove pan sides and serve cold. If the caramel sticks to the side, try dipping your knife into hot water and running it around the rim of the pan to loosen.
