Terrific Apple Pie

I am not an apple pie fan, but I love this one!

Superb Apple Pie

Crust:
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. oil
2 Tbsp. cold milk

Combine ingredients and press into 9 inch pie pan.

Filling:
4 c. sliced apples
1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. nutmeg (I leave this out)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Topping:
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. sugar

Combine flour, butter, and sugar and mix together with fingers till crumbly; sprinkle on top of pie.

Place pie in brown paper bag and seal with staples or pins. Bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hour. Do not peek! Slit sack open with sharp knife; cool pie on rack.
(I bake it for 1 1/2 hours without putting it in a paper bag and it still comes out just fine.)

Honey Lime Enchiladas

So very yummy!! I'll post a picture later.

Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas
Ingredients:
6 Tablespoons honey
5 Tablespoons lime juice
1 Tablespoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
2 cups green enchilada sauce, divided
1 cup sour cream
8-10 flour tortillas
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
Method:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the honey, lime juice, chili powder and garlic powder; toss with the shredded chicken and let marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Pour about ½ cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Fill each tortilla with about 2 Tablespoons of the chicken, a pinch of cheese, making sure to reserve about 1 cup of cheese later. Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the sour cream, and any leftover marinade. Pour the sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on top.
