Are you wanting a main dish, appetizer or dessert? What about the Bacon-Cheddar Bites, I've never made them but they sound good and most of the MMP recipes are quick and easy... I'm sure that there are some people out there that have made them that can tell you more.....
Or, you can't go wrong with the brownie truffle cups, love them!

Well, there are the Taffy Apple Tartletts, the Taffy Apple Pizza, Mom's Apple Crisp, all very good and sweet (although, I personally don't care for the Tartletts, everyone else seems to really like them). Also, I remember my director making something once at a meeting, not sure what it's called or exactly what's in it, maybe someone else will remember it... she made it in the Deep Dish Baker, she cut up some apples with the APCS and there was cinnamon and sugar and I think she cup up biscuits and either put them on top of the apples or below the apples and baked it. Wish I could remember what it was, it was really good, and pretty quick and easy!

this sounds similar to the one that she made, but I don't remember the nuts or the way the apples were arranged...
