FRESH APPLE COFFEECAKE
 
Ingredients:
2 cups biscuit mix
2/3 cup applesauce
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened or melted
2 apples, peeled, cored and diced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg egg, lightly beaten
Streusel
1/4 cup biscuit mix
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons firm butter or margarine
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped nuts, if desired

Directions:
Combine first 9 ingredients. Spread in a lightly greased 3 1/2 quart Crock Pot (or spread in a lightly greased baking dish which fits in a larger sized Crock Pot). Combine streusel ingredients with a fork or pastry blender; sprinkle over the batter. Cover and cook on high for about 2 1/2 hours, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Uncover and let cool in the pot. When cool enough to handle, loosen the sides and lift out carefully with a flexible spatula, or loosen sides and invert the pot slightly and remove with your hand (you could hold a small piece of foil or waxed paper).

APRICOT NUT BREAD
 
Ingredients:
3/4 cup dried apricots
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 Tbsp grated orange peel
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Directions:
Place the apricots on a chopping block. Sprinkle 1 T flour over them. Dip a knife into the flour and chop the apricots finely. Flour the knife often to keep the cut up fruit from sticking together. Sift the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar into a large bowl. Combine the milk, egg, orange peel, and oil. Stir the flour mixture and the whole wheat flour. Fold in the cut up apricots, any flour left on the cutting block and the walnuts. Pour into a well greased, floured baking unit. Cover and place on a rack in the slow cooker, but prop the lid open a fraction with a toothpick or a twist of foil to let excess steam escape. Cook on High for 4 to 6 hours. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm or cold. Makes 4 to 6 servings. Now before you all ask what a baking unit is (I wondered as I sat and typed this in), I looked it up in the front of the bread section. She says that some manufacturers are making units for slow cookers, but if you don't have one, a 2 pound coffee can works. Pyrex muffin cups also work. Also 1, 1 1/2 and 2 quart molds work. DO NOT LIFT THE LID WHILE BAKING THIS BREAD.
