Desserts

[evkl]

Anyone have any good dessert recipes? I do appetizers and main courses well but I'm really not so good with desserts. I'm also not great with baking, which probably explains why I'm not so good with them. But if anyone has any recipes that create a good dessert--whether they involve baking or not--I'd love to hear them.

Caramel Apple Crisp -OMG it's better than sex... almost.

Ingredients

5 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup butter, softened

Caramel Sauce:
1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F (175 degree C).
In a medium size bowl, toss apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon juice, and water; spread evenly into a 8x8 inch pan. In another bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, oats, and butter; spoon mixture evenly over apples.
In a heavy sauce pan over low heat, melt the caramels with the evaporated milk. Heat , stirring frequently, until mixture has a smooth consistency. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the crumble.
Bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes (apple mixture will bubble and topping will be golden brown).

"Easy Peach Cobbler"

Melt 1/2 stick of margarine in 9x12 inch pan. Mix 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk and 1 tablespoon baking powder into large bowl; pour over margarine. Pour or spoon 1 can sliced peaches over mixture. Do not stir. Cook at 350° for 45 minutes.

It's from one of my grandmother's old church cookbooks. Pretty hard to screw up even if you aren't an oven adept. I actually forgot to put in the baking powder the first time I did it, and even though parts were a little raw it was quite edible.
