Fun Fact
Native to Texas, the pecan tree became the state tree in 1919.
There are over 500 varieties of pecans! Berdoll Pecan Farm uses the Pawnee variety because of its rich, buttery flavor.
Mini Pecan Cheese Balls
You will need:
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese,
softened
3 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 (1 ounce) package Ranch-style dressing mix
3 cups chopped pecans
4 pecan halves
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and dressing mix. Form into ice cream scoop sized balls. Roll each ball in chopped pecans to coat surface. Decorate the tops with pecan halves. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Caramel Apple Pecan Dump Cake
You will need:
2 cans apple pie filling
1 box vanilla cake mix
1 cup quick-cook oatmeal
1 cup pecan, chopped
2 sticks butter, melted
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. caramel ice cream topping
Directions:
Preheat over to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, store together apple pie filling, cinnamon and caramel. Pour mixture into bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Spread into an even layer.
In another bowl, mix cake mix and oatmeal. Sprinkle 3/4 of the mixture over the apple filling. Discard the remaining cake mix and oatmeal mixture.
Top with pecans then evenly pour the melted butter over the entire cake.
Place baking dish in the oven and cook between 40-55 minutes or until caramel bubbles through the topping or a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. If your pecans or the corners of the cake begin to get too brown, cover with aluminum for the last 10-15 minutes.
Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping. Yum!
