Apple-filled dinner keeps doctor away j By Mick Dyer Senior Reporter An apple a day keeps the doctor away .. . Ihat’s the way die old folk say ing goes. There must be some truth to it, though, otherwise it never would have survived into this modern age of time-saving appli ances and stress reducing pharma ceutical products. At any rale, if you prepare and consume everything on this a& apple menu, you won’t have time to get sick. Let s start with a beverage. Hot Spiced Apple Cider — all you need for this is a gallon of fresh apple dder, an orange, a suck of cinna mon and about 20 doves. Peel the orange and eat the meat. Slick the doves, pointy end first, into the orange peels. Simmer the cider and orange peels and cinnamon suck for at least a half an hour and serve. Itie longer you simmer die dder, die stronger flavor it will ha ve Try it with a little rum for a festive drink Serves 6 to 8. Then, an appetizer. Apple Salad — you need a Red and a Yellow' Delicious apple, one stalk celery, a medium-size carrot, 3/4 cup raisins, a lemon and 1/2 cup mayonnaise Cut the apples into thin, bite size pieces and soak them in the juice from the lemon. This keeps the apples from turning brown. Cut the celery, width wise, in 1/4 inch strips Grate the carrots Mix all the ingre dients together with the mayon naise. Serve immediately. Serves 6. Now, the main course. Apple Chicken — this is a little harder You u need one pound ot boneless chicken breast, one Jonathan apple and one Granny Smith apple, one pint cream, four ounces brandy, 1/ 4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a slick of margarine. Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch thick strips and the apples into 1/4 inch strips Melt the margarine in a large pan and sautee the chicken. When the chicken is done (firm), remove and add the cinnamon and apple slices Toss for a minute and remove. Add brandy to the pan (don’t drain the pan off first, because there is flavor in there) Flame and reduce brandy mixture to a syrup. Don ’t worry if the pan looks like it’s burning around the edge, just lake a wire whip and scrape it off into the syrup. Add the cream to the synjp and reduce to a creamy sauce Re introduce chicken and toss for about a minute to coat the strips Remove chicken and place on abed of hce Pour sauce over chicken. Arrange the slices of apple, alternat ing with the Jonathon and then the Granny Smith apple on top. Serves 4. For dessert Raw Apple Cake — For this you will need 1 /2 cup short ening, two cups white sugar, two eggs, four cups thinly sliced raw apples, 1/2 cup walnut pieces, two cups nour, one teaspoon cinna- | mon, one teaspoon nutmeg and two teaspoons soda. Cream to gether the sugar and shortening. Add eggs and beat well. Sift the dry ingredients into the mixture and blend well. Add apples and walnuts and beat the batter until stiff. Bake 40 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees in a cobbler dish. Serves 8. Apple reci pes courtesy of the Johnny Ap pleseed in me (and all the restau rants I’ve worked in in my life). I * I I I I ! ! I I !
