French Chicken
1 bottle of French dressing
1 can of whole cranberries
1 pkg of Lipton Onion Soup Mix
~Mix together 3 ingredients (this makes LOTS of sauce) and pour over chicken.  Bake in oven or crockpot until chicken is done.  Serve over rice.

Crockpot Spicy Apple Betty

3 pounds of crisp cooking apples 
10 slices of hearty bread, crusts cut off and then bread cubed1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
    Wash the apples really well.  You don’t need to peel them – I don’t.  Cut each apple into eight wedges, and cut the core out.  Of course, if you have one of those nice combination apple corer and cutter, that’s even better.
    Put the apple slices into your crockpot.  Then, in a separate bowl, combine the bread with all the other ingredients, tossing together so the spices and butter combine really well.
    Spoon the mixture over the apples in the crockpot.  Put the cover on.  Turn crockpot to the LOW setting and let cook for 2 to 3 hours.  The apples should be cooked but not turn into mush.  This crockpot dessert is sort of like a combination Apple Brown Betty and Bread Pudding.
    This dessert will serve about 6 people, more if you’re a little careful.  Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make this dessert go a little further, and for the extra sweetness!  Very tasty!
