I can't wait to try the sweet potato burritos

I did not see that. That sounds very intriguing!

Apple Pie Apples:

4-5 Whole Apples
1/2 CSplenda Brown Sugar
1/2 C Chopped Peanuts
1 tspn. Cinnamon
2-3 Cups Apple Juice

Topping:

Lowfat Whipped Cream - Or - Sugar Free Caramel syrup


Mix your brown sugar, cinnamon and peanuts together. You can even add cooked oatmeal to this mixture for more nutrition and grains. Once you have cored your apples, fill each apple with a spoon full or two of this mixture

When you core each apple, be careful not to core all the way thru the apple, as you want to make a "pit" that you can put the mixture into and have it bake right inside the apple.

Pour your apple juice into the crockpot, put apples right side up and let them cook on low for 2-3 hours

Once you have pulled them out of the crockpot, the apple will be soft with the skin of the apple still "holding" the apple in its original shape. You can then top your warm apple with the whipped topping or carmel.......DELICOUS and tastes just like apple crisp!

I love crockpot recipes!

My favorite is carnets - cut a pork shoulder (Boston butt) into 1 cubes, toss with oregano, salt, pepper & cumin. Put in crock pot, add 1 onion (quartered) and 2 garlic cloves (whole) on top of the meat. Cook low for 6 hours, use slotted spoon to remove meat. Toss the onions & juice, no matter how yummy it looks (it isn't!!). Hand shred the pork and put in salad, tortilla, whatever. Yummy!

These recipes rock!

sounds amazing!
