| APPLE CRISP |
| This dish is extremely yummy and easy. My mother-in-law Jean used to make it for her family. My husband adores it. The secret is fresh macintosh apples. |
| Difficulty Level: 2 out of 5 |
| INGREDIENTS: 4 cups sliced pared apples or 6 medium apples (I prefer macintosh but you can use any type) 1/3 cup brown sugar 2 tsp lemon juice 2 tbsp water 1 capful vanilla pinch of cinnamon TOPPING: 3/4 cup oats (I use Robin Hood) 1/3 cup all purpose flour 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup butter or margarine METHOD: Grease a deep baking dish (I use a loaf pan - like the ones for meatloaf). Arrange apples in the bottom of the dish. Sprikle the apples with 1/3 cup brown sugar, lemon juice, water, cinnamon and vanilla. Combine oats, flour and brown sugar, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle on fruit to make a think topping. Bake in moderately hot oven (375 F) for 35 minutes or until apples are tender. Serves 4 |
