My grandfathers, uncles, and my Dad were coal miners in the western part of Virginia and southern West Virginia - hard, honest work for minimal pay. The women in our families worked equally as hard in raising children and keeping house - and making the most wonderful meals out of the simplest ingredients! I have learned from my own cooking experience that the best part of preparing something is in sharing it with others who enjoy it, too. That is the purpose behind this blog: not only to preserve our family recipes, but to share them with others who can use and enjoy them as much as we have. Thanks for stopping by! Cris

Ingredients:

1 large Gala apple

1 tbsp. Butter

Dash of salt

½ cup chopped walnuts

½ cup raisins

½ cup hot water

½ cup French Vanilla Coffee Creamer

Small amount of Cinnamon or Nutmeg


Directions:

  1. Put the raisins in the hot water and set aside for the raisins to soften.

  1. Core the apple and cut into bite size pieces. You can either peel the apple or leave the skin on it, your preference.

  1. In a sauce pan, over medium heat melt the butter.

  1. Add the apple pieces and salt. Toss gently and cook the apples until just tender.

  1. Drain the raisins and add them to the apples.

  1. Add the nuts to the apples and raisins.

  1. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.

  1. Add the French Vanilla Coffee Creamer and gently toss. Heat just long enough to warm the creamer.
