3-INGREDIENT CHEDDAR & APPLE BITES



3-Ingredient Cheddar & Apple Bites image

Creamy apple butter and sharp Cheddar cheese are a perfect match in these easy party hors d'oeuvres. This recipe calls for prepared pie crust, which is pressed into mini muffin tins to make little tart shells, so it's super easy to make as well. Add slices of apple for extra crunch, if you'd like, or keep these bites simple. Either way, consider making a double batch--they'll go quickly.

1 refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of a 14-ounce package; see Tip)
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup apple butter
24 thin slices apple, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

ROASTED CHICKEN AND BRIE HOLLY MINI BITES



Roasted Chicken and Brie Holly Mini Bites image

I got the idea for these appetizers from my favorite sandwich at a local restaurant-a symphony of sweet fig, roasted apple, melted brie and tangy garlic mayonnaise. I re-created this delectable combination in a quick appetizer with bright red cranberries and green spinach to give it a holiday twist. These scrumptious bites only take about 20 minutes, but taste like you spent hours; you can also make them a few days in advance, then warm them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving. They're the perfect party appetizer! -Terri Gilson, Calgary, Alberta

CHICKEN AND NORTHERN BEANS WHITE CHILI



Chicken and Northern Beans White Chili image

Chili is one of our go-to winter dishes but there comes a time, about halfway through the season, when we tire of all our favorite cold weather recipes. If you know the feeling, we suggest this recipe as an antidote! It's got all the heartiness of your standard bowl o' red but has a couple of differentiators that make it deliciously different. It's brothy base makes it taste a little lighter as does the inclusion of chicken (or turkey, if you desire). But the seasoning is what will really wake up your taste buds-in addition to the expected chili powder, this recipe includes dried basil and most surprising of all: ground cloves. Though you wouldn't expect it, the sweet and peppery flavor of cloves goes beautifully in chili. So, next time you need a winter warm-up meal, we suggest this recipe.
