Applebee's Apple Chimi-Cheesecake.This is simple and easy. Make a cheesecake and add cooked apples to the cake. (I have used apples out of canned pie filling, taking just the apples from the can. Omit the excess syrup filling.) After it firms up, cut into pieces.
Wrap in a flour tortilla. Tie it up with string to hold it together so it will not come undone during frying.
Fry them in oil at 350 degrees F. Fry until golden brown and serve it with caramel sauce. You can use caramel topping for ice cream or you can make it yourself using soft caramels. Melt them using a double broiler (this comes the closest to the caramel we use for the chimis at Applebee's).

Cook fish approximately four minutes (varies with weight and thickness), turning halfway at two minutes on grill to achieve "diamond" grill marks.

1 (2 3/4 pound) sirloin steak – 8 smaller cuts
(approximately 5 1/2 ounces each)
Sauteed mushrooms/onion, see recipe

Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Place a single layer of garlic cloves on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Roast in 400 degree F preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until soft. Unwrap and let cool until touchable. Peel cloves and mash with potatoes when they are ready.
Wash and rinse potatoes under cold water. It is not necessary to peel potatoes, unless you desire.
In large saucepan (or pot), bring red potatoes to a slow boil for approximately 20 minutes. The exact time depends on the size of the potatoes used. For faster cooking, cut into smaller pieces. Internal temperature should be 205 degrees F. Remove from heat and drain in colander.
In pan or bowl, combine potatoes, peeled and roasted garlic cloves, and all other ingredients and mash with a potato masher.
Return mashed potatoes to low heat, if necessary, to bring them to a serving temperature of 165 degrees F.
Sauteed Onions, Mushrooms: Melt butter in skillet over medium heat and add onions and seasonings. Saute and stir until lightly caramelized.
Add sliced mushrooms and stir, as needed to avoid burning, until hot.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
***** NONE *****
Aunt Annie's Pretzels
1 1/2 cup warm water
1 1/8 tsp active dry yeast (1 1/2 pkg)
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 1/8 tsp salt
1 cup bread flour
3 cups regular flour
2 cups Warm water
2 tbsp baking soda
to taste coarse salt
2 - 4 tbsp butter (melted)
Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add
sugar, salt and stir to dissolve; add flour and knead dough until smooth
and elastic. Let rise at least 1/2 hour.
While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm
water and 2 tbsp baking soda. Be certain to stir often.
After dough has risen, pinch off bits of dough and roll into a long rope*
(about 1/2 inch or less thick) and shape. Dip pretzel in soda solution and
place on greased baking sheet. Allow pretzels to rise again. Bake in 450¡
oven for about 10 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter and
enjoy!
Toppings:
after you brush with butter try sprinkling with coarse salt.
or for Auntie Anne's famous Cinnamon Sugar, try melting a stick of butter
in a shallow bowl (big enough to fit the entire pretzel) and in another
shallow bowl make a mixture of cinnamon and suagr. Dip the pretzel into
the butter, coating both sides generously. Then dip again into the
cinnamon mixture. Enjoy!
