BAKED CARAMEL APPLES

INGREDIENTS:

8 medium baking apples
1-2 TBSP lemon juice
1 C sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 C Oktoberfest lager style beer, the sweeter the better.
1 C packed light brown sugar
1/2 C all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 C butter

DIRECTIONS:

Peel, halve, and core apples. Sprinkle the cut edges with lemon juice.
Combine sugar, cinnamon, and beer in a large pot (make sure it's large, because the beer will foam up quite high on the hot break). Bring to a slow boil.
Add apples to the syrup, simmer until apples have absorbed much of the liquid. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, flour, and baking powder. Cut in the butter. Set aside.
Place apples in a medium to large baking dish.
Simmer remaining liquid down to a syrup. Drizzle syrup over the apples.
Spoon butter/brown sugar mixture over apples and bake at 350F for 20-30 minutes, until topping is brown.
Serve as is or with cream...whipped or otherwise.

PARCHED CORN:

This item is always sold out in the better known Primitive Shops....Take a small, grocery store paper bag, put your finished corn in it, then wrap it in dirty cheesecloth and sell it for around $6, or make a canvas pouch to hold it...I like it with the brown bag and grungy cheese cloth...Just put some in a wood bowl and then set the bag on top to the side...

Parched Corn Recipe

Native Americans and the Early Pioneers knew how to make an easy nutritious snack. Parched corn was a staple of early Americans:
Things You'll Need:
Corn
Cast Iorn Skillet
lard
Spoon
Paper towel
Cloth or paper bags
2 tbsp. lard
2 ears dried corn, shelled
1 lg. skillet
Dry the corn ( I buy the squirrel cobs already dried). The primary ingredient of parched corn is dried corn. To dry fresh corn on the cob, hang it in a dry area of your home and allow it to dry out naturally. Frozen corn can be dried in a dehydrator or spread on a cookie sheet and placed in an oven set at 150 degrees. Leave the oven door open a little. This method can take a few hours and the corn should be turned occasionally to prevent burning.
Oil the skillet. Add a small amount of lard to a skillet. Heat the oil on a low temperature. Wipe the frying pan with paper towel to remove any excess oil. Only a thin coating should remain on the bottom of the pan.
Pour the corn in the skillet. Add enough dry corn to the skillet to just about cover the bottom. The actual amount will depend on the size of the skillet.
Cook the corn. Allow the corn to cook slowly. Stir the dried corn constantly to prevent burning. The parched corn is done when the kernels have swollen, and turned a medium brown. A few of the kernels may explode, just like popcorn.
Drain the corn. Pour the parched corn onto some paper towel and allow to thoroughly drain and cool. Turn the corn a couple of times to ensure that all excess oil is absorbed. Store the parched corn.
