In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.


1 refrigerated pie crust, softened as directed on package
Filling
4 medium sliced peeled apples
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Topping
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash nutmeg
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1/3 cup chopped pecans
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Place pie crust in 9-inch pie pan as directed on package for one-crust filled pie.
In large bowl, combine apples and cranberries. In small bowl, combine all remaining filling ingredients; mix well. Add dry ingredients to fruit; toss to coat. Pour filling into pie crust-lined pan.
Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In small bowl, combine flour and all topping ingredients except margarine and pecans. With pastry blender or fork, cut in margarine until crumbly. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle evenly over filling.
Bake at 375 degrees F. for 45 to 55 minutes or until apples are tender, and crust and topping are golden brown. Cover edge of crust with strips of foil after 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning.
If desired, serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

I started to make this recipe and realized that the kiddos had eaten all the apples. So I substituted the fruit with rhubarb & blueberries. I also subbed out the pecans with oats and the store crust with a whole wheat one. It was amazing! This is an excellent recipe to use as a base and use your favorite fruits.

This worked out great. Just the right blend of sweet and tartness. My mother would not part with the leftovers! I cooked it 1/2 way w/out the topping and then put that on midway. I think it makes it better that way but you have to watch that it doesn't dry out too much on top. Sorry about the photo.

I was looking for an apple pie recipe for Thanksgiving that used whole, uncooked cranberries. This recipe was SO easy to assemble and the results were AMAZING. Not too sweet and not too tart (I used Granny Smiths), the whole berries complemented the apples perfectly and the topping was to die for. Definitely a keeper!

Was looking for a recipe like this after tasting a Sam's Club pie we had one Thanksgiving (the pie was not available for the next year's holliday). Realy was easy to make and really tasty!
