brown sugar, ginger, baking powder, and salt.
Add oats and stir in dried cherries or cranberries.
Grate cheese directly into the mixture. Add apples
and stir. Add liquids and stir gently until dough is

on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until cookies
are golden (17-20 minutes).

quarters

Under cold running water remove the skins, stems, and seeds
from the chiles. Place in a blender along with the tomatillos, onion,
apple, cumin, salt, and lime juice. Blend for 1-2 minutes. Pour into
jars and refrigerate or can.
