This is also the season for picking apples. We ventured out last weekend to pick a bushel and since then I've been baking up a storm. Apple pie, apple crisp, apple bread, apple muffins, the list goes on. My kids love the treats of the season but with 4 kids all going in different directions I don't have much spare time to bake which is why I never want to be without my apple peeler/corer/slicer. It is a major time saver (mine is from The Pampered Chef. Visit http://www.pamperedchef.biz/chefbarbaraf to get your own.). I can get a pie in the oven in under 10 minutes. Some people call it cheating (I'm looking at you, Kri!). I call it keeping things simple. Good things don't have to be difficult to come by.
My favorite apple recipe is my Mom's apple crisp. I'm sharing the recipe with you here. Take a few minutes and make some for your family this weekend. Or if you don't have the contraption pictured above, take more than a few minutes! Either way, you won't be sorry. Enjoy this good. cheating. yum. recipe and happy Autumn to you all!
Mom's Apple Crisp
makes 6 servings
4-5 cups sliced, pared tart apples (I use cortlands)
1/4 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
dash of salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Mound apples in a buttered pie plate or other baking dish; sprinkle with the orange juice. Combine sugar, flour, spices & sale; cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle mixture over the apples. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is crisp.
