Your Hostess:


Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm your hostess Lady Rachel, and this is the blog of a fourteen-year-old girl, who is striving to become a woman of God. I am a homeschool student, living on our small hobby farm with my 7 siblings, from ranging from ages 18-1yo. Take a look at my life as the 3rd daughter from a large homeschooling family and how God walks with me through it. Blessings!

Becoming The Excellent Baker - Apples & Apple Dip

Posted in My Recipe Box

We use this recipe a lot whenever Dad brings home some big juicy apples. It's great if you are going to have a cookout, or having a get-together, or if just want to enjoy a little sweet, but healthy treat with your family. It takes hardly anything to make, and it so good, you'll want to make it again!

The Dippin' Dip

3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese
1/4 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts work best in this)
about a tablespoon of vanilla

Now, if you have let the cream cheese sit out, you can do this with your hand, but if not, you can put it in the electric mixer and do it.

Put the cream cheese in a bowl, and start mashing it with the fork. Or if you are using a mixer, do it on low speed. Next pour the sugar in, one at a time, mixing it well before adding the next. Next you mix the vanilla in. That way it's a little bit softer. Now the last thing is to put the nuts in. Now mix all that up really good, making sure the sugars have not clumped anywhere. There's your apple dip.

I want to let you know something - if you are having a get-together and want this to be a part of the food, and you are making it ahead of time, do not cut the apples too. They will turn brown. It won't hurt if you do, but if you don't have to, make sure they are freshly cut.

Now, time to cut the apples. My favourite way to cut them is with a sharp knife. But if you do this, ask an adult to help you with this. If not, and you have an apple-corer on hand, use that. It will be quick to use it.

Once, you have done this, you are finished! Now, you can place the bowls of apples and apple dip on the table and set out some plates for people to come and get their own. Hope you enjoy this as much as we do. When we make, it doesn't last very long once you get the Littles started!

Becoming The Excellent Cook,

I hope you have enjoyed reading the thoughts and happenings of a fourteen-year-old girl from the country. “You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!” Philippians 4:13

That looks yummy! We have all the ingredients on hand right now, so maybe I'll have to whip some "dippin' dip" up over here pretty soon.

Another thing, you've been tagged to post six random things about yourself on my blog: femininityinafeministworld.blogspot.com
