apple turnovers

This weekend I was home for a short time between between 2 trips to Florida.  Saturday I capitalized on a recipe or two from mom.  She emailed them to me:

Chicken & Rice Casserole

Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast
garlic salt
1 stick butter
1 box long cooking long grain wild rice  Uncle Ben’s
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/3 cup milk

Directions:
Cook rice according to package and place in a 9by13 casserole dish. Melt butter in a skillet, add garlic salt to taste and slowly cook chicken in garlic butter. When done cut chicken into bite size pieces and place on rice Make a gravy using garlic butter left in the skillet and add soup and milk to skillet. Pour it over the chicken and rice. Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes uncovered.

Apple Turnovers (Same idea as pigs in a blanket only with apples and cinnamon.)

Ingredients:
2 granny smith apples
2 tubes of cresent rolls
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
cinnamon
2 sticks butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 small can mountain dew  or apple cidar

Directions:
Peel and core 2 granny smith apples and cut into 8 slices each. Wrap each slice of apple  in a crescent roll. Soften the butter and mix the cinnamon, vanilla and sugar with it and glob it on the apples rolled in the crescents. pour the liquid between the rows of apples. bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

I saved them on my phone and headed to Publix. It was cool to have the list on my phone, but my friend was a little nervous. I almost ran over a few people with my buggy while trying to check for the ingredients needed.  We survived the store and had fun cooking. In short they are both really easy to make and taste great (especially the apple turnovers.)

Here is a picture of Brian eating the tasty treat.
