Refried Beans

These are OK, but I wouldn't make them just to eat, only for 7-layer dip. Since I don't ever buy refried beans, they are cheaper alternative.

2 T. shortening
2 T. flour
1 qt. pinto beans (cooked)
garlic powder
onion salt
mexican seasoning
chile powder

Melt shortening in fry pan. Add flour. Stir in beans. With potato masher, mash beans and cook a few minutes. Add seasonings to taste. Serve with grated cheese on top.

Apple Dumplings

I have had these every year since I was little for my birthday. that and chicken cordon bleu. 1 pastry for 9" pie 2 c. brown sugar 1 c. water 4 baking apples. Cinnamon and Sugar Peel and Core Apples. (If you don't want the serving so big you can cut the apples in half). Sprinkle Cinnamon and Sugar in them and wrap them in pie dough. Put them in a pan. Over the stove stir 2 c. brown sugar and 1 c. water and some cinnamon until bubbly, pour over apples. Bake 50-80 minutes ad 425F. (This depends on the pie dough, you don't want it raw at all or it tastes gross, so for whole apples longer, smaller apples shorter. )
