Egg whites beaten with cream of tartar, then sugar until those famous stiff peaks form...golly, that's good meringue! A nice, basic recipe.

Meringue Cookies

This recipe can be doubled, but if you do, don't double the chocolate chips. Best if eaten in a few days.

Elephant Ears

Crispy cinnamon-sugar fried bread — just like you'd get at the county fair!

Minnesota Apple Crisp

Rating: 4 stars 39
The simplest apple crisp recipe proves that less is more when it comes to apples. I grew up with this recipe and it never fails to impress. If you have small casserole dishes, you can make individual serving sizes for the kids. I prefer the slightly tart Haralson apple for this recipe. Top with half-and-half, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Why go out when you can make your own New York cheesecake at home? Yum!

Merenges

Rating: 4.5 stars 166
This is a Puerto Rican recipe. The meringues are as light as a cloud and not messy, you can make a lot of them, and they have a hint of lemon.

Apple Brownies

This was my Mom's recipe. Easy and quick to make. Apples and walnuts are packed into a cinnamon spiced blonde brownie. Always a hit when I bring it to parties. Very moist and great to make in the fall when apples are plentiful.
