Mix the dry and wet ingredients well and put the mixture in the muffin tin. Bake the tin for 1¼ hours, and then let the tin cool down before removing the cakes. Store the apple crunch cakes in a sealed container. This recipe makes about 12 - 14 cakes. Add the ingredients in proportion, to increase the number of cakes.
Bread Pudding
The bread pudding is one of the simplest recipes that is enjoyed by most of the dogs. To make the bread pudding, preheat that oven to 325 degree Celsius. Next take a baking dish and grease it with butter or margarine. Next cube 4 slices of bread in the baking dish, add 3 beaten eggs, some sugar, ½ tablespoon of salt and ½ tablespoon of vanilla. Add a couple of cups of scalded milk and then beat the whole mixture with a wire whisk. Place the mixture in a pan of water and bake for about an hour. Do not cover the baking dish, and bake longer if the pudding does not become hard enough.
Scrambled Eggs
To make scrambled eggs for your canine, you will need a cup of dry dog food, 3 eggs and ½ a cup of ground burger. The first step in this recipe is to beat the eggs and mix the ground hamburger and dry dog food into the beaten mixture. Then scramble the mixture in the same manner as you make your own scramble eggs. Let it cool for a few minutes and then serve.
