Answer 5

I love Filo Apple Cups


6 sheets of filo dough
melted butter
Cinnamon &sugar mixture
Stoffers harvest apples ( in the frozen food section)

lay out filyo dough sheet and brush melted butter on top, then sprinkle cinnimion &sugar on top of that.
Repeat this process for every layer as you stack them on top of each other

Then cut dough into six pieces and place in a cupcake pan and bake for 10 min on 350

While the cups are baking, cook apples as directed on the box.
When cups are ready, spoon in apples, and top with vanilla ice cream!
These are so easy, and not pricey to make. You can also put in a different kind of fruit if you like.
Happy Eating

Answer 6

There's no better time of year to take advantage of all the fresh fruits available, then now. I would make a fresh fruit bowl, starting with a hollowed out watermellon half, add cantalope and watermelon balls, pineapple chunks, blueberries, strawberries, orange and grapefruit sections, and grapes. Serve in bowls, topped with raspberry shurbet. Refreshing and healthy.

Answer 7

you can make a nice mango ice box cake.
or a nice chocolate rice pudding...

but the best will be enjoying a chocolate fondue with friends and family. and you can lay out the wafetsticks, breadsticks, marshmallows, ice cream balls, fruits, granola bars, churros, and plain donut chunks for everyone to enjoy.

no fondue set? no worries, you can always use a double boiler and transfer in on a nice bowl.
you can even thin out bottled chocolate spread with a little cream & serve from the bottle!

hope i helped.
