3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
6 tbsp apple juice

Peach Pie

Peach Pie (from here)

Notes: This was good! It kind of turned out like a cobbler in a pie. I did add some flour to my peaches because I used fresh ones that I froze.

10 fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
1/3 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. white sugar
1/4 c. butter
1 9inch double pie crust

Mix flour, sugar, butter into crumb.

Place one crust on the bottom of a 9in pie pan. Line the shell with some sliced peaches. Sprinkle some of the butter mixture on top of the peaches, then put more peaches on top of the crumb mixture. Continue layering until both the peaches and crumbs are gone.

Top with lattice strops of pie crust.

Bake at 350 for 45 mins or until crust is golden.

Delish.

Oreo Rice Crispies

3 tbsp butter

Mix Rice Krispies and Oreos in a bowl. Add marshmellows to a large miccrowave safe bowl. Add butter to marshmallows. Microwave for 3 minutes.

Cheerio Treats

Cheerio Treats (From here)

Notes: I liked these, but I love Cheerios....so...

1 c. sugar
1 c. corn syrup
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
5 cups Cheerios

In a large sauce pan, combine sugar and corn syrup. Bring to boil over medium heat.

Allow mixture to boil for 1 minute and remove from heat.

Add peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.

Add Cheerios and mix until coated. I would maybe consider adding in chocolate chips or something along those lines as well too.

Drop mixture by the spoonful onto waxed paper and allow to cool -- I would probably go parchment over wax.
