Double Crunch Apple Salad Recipe

1 large golden or green apple, cut into bite sized pieces
1 large red apple, cut into bite sized pieces
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 can (20 oz.) pineapple chunks, drained
1 cup miniature marshmallows
2/3 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup nuts
1 small container of cool whip

Toss apples with lemon juice and add the rest of the ingredients. If you don’t have any cool whip or want a more savory salad, replace the cool whip with 1/4 cup mayo and 2 tablespoons each of celery and raisins.

This recipe makes a great Christmas cake. You might also try it with other flavors of pie filling and gelatin. Peach, blueberry or lemon make great variations.

Cherry Delight Cake

1 pkg. white cake mix
1 pkg. (3 oz.) cherry gelatin
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 cups whipped topping
1 can cherry pie filling

Bake cake in a 9×13 pan according to directions on box. Let cool. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Poke holes in cake with toothpick or fork and gently pour gelatin over it. Cool for 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. In bowl, beat cream cheese and fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread on cake. Top with pie filling and chill for 2 hours.
