Banana Crumb Muffins

So, every morning before I go to the gym (not that I am good and go every morning) I normally eat a banana or apple. Well, for some reason the banas that I bought got rip way earlier that I had planned on. Therefore, I needed something to make with them that I could grab and eat on my way out. I saw these on a friend's blog and decided that they would be perfect. I took the left overs into work on Monday and the coworkers loved them. they all wanted to know when I would be making them again.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 bananas, mashed

3/4 cup white sugar

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/3 cup butter, melted

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 10 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.

In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins.

Bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.

Apple Dumplings

I got this recipe almost a year ago off of Pioneer Woman's blog. I have been waiting for an excuse to make it. Memorial Day was the excuse. My parents were coming over to grill out and I needed something quick and easy to make for desert.

Ingredients:

2 Granny Smith apples

2 cans crescent rolls

2 sticks butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 teaspoons vanilla

cinnamon

1 small can Mountain Dew

Directions:

Peel and core apples. Cut apples into 8 slices each. Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll. Place in a 9 x 13 buttered pan. Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla, stir, and pour over apples. Pour Mountain Dew around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream, and spoon some of the sweet sauces from the pan over the top.
