Saturday evening after supper, I was successfully avoiding real schoolwork.

To begin, I downloaded a bunch of “educational” apps so that I could “review” them for my Educational Technology class (actually I just enjoy playing children’s games).  In between trying to create mathematical sentences and type parts of speech, I decided to scroll through my drafts folder.

Lo and behold, I have multiple recipes waiting to be shared.  I hope you enjoy National Apple Month with these apple cinnamon bites.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups flour

• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 tbs lemon juice
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• extra sugar, for topping

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahernheit.

• In a separate bowl, mix together first seven ingredients (flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon)
• Stir in applesauce and diced apple.
• Add vanilla to milk and lemon juice mixture.
• Gradually add wet mixture to dry mixture until completely combined into a sticky dough.
