Apple Spice Muffins

It's a rainy Friday, and a good time to bake muffins. Here's my recipe for Apple Spice Muffins:

Mix 2 eggs with 8 oz. Vanilla Greek-style yogurt and a 21 oz. can of apple pie filling.
Add 18 oz. spice cake mix. Combine well, but do not overmix.
Grease muffin tins well and fill with batter. Make sure there is at least one apple slice in each section.
Sprinkle tops with cinnamon.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes. 
This recipe makes about 20 muffins.

Olive Cheese Balls

A great appetizer!

Here's a recipe I resurrected from an old, yellowed, falling-apart Betty Crocker cookbook:
Olive Cheese Balls.

On paper towels, drain and dry about 40 pimiento-stuffed green olives. Mix 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded cheese with 1 and 1/4 cups flour.

Add 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine and knead thoroughly 

Take about a teaspoon of dough and wrap it around each olive, rolling it into a ball. (That's the fun part.) Place on ungreased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Cover and chill for at least one hour. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 - 20 minutes.

The finished product! I'm serving them as an appetizer with our Easter ham dinner. Next time I'll add a dash of cayenne pepper. 

             Martini, anyone?

Update: I just re-discovered this recipe which I had forgotten. This is a unique appetizer that I'd like to make again!
