APPLE FLOAT

(This recipe was my mother-in-law's, by way of my sister-in-law. It's a favorite of my husband's, and with good reason. It's like eating sweet, fruit-filled air. We've tried both versions, and prefer the original.)



• ---The original version----
• 1 can evaporated whole milk, well-chilled
• 1/4 C lemon juice
• 1/2 C sugar
• 2 16-oz jars of applesauce, well-chilled
• 2 packages of graham crackers, crushed in a zip-lock bag
• Whip milk until soft peaks form.
• Add lemon juice and sugar.
• Continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
• Fold in the applesauce.
• Put half of the graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of a 13" x 9" pan.
• Spread half of applesauce mixture over the crumbs.
• Repeat.
• ---An easier version----
• 8 oz. Cool Whip, defrosted
• 16 oz jar of applesauce
• 1 1/2 C graham cracker crumbs (about one package from box)
• Fold applesauce into Cool Whip.
• Put half of the graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of a smaller dish.
• Spread half of applesauce mixture over the crumbs.
• Repeat.
