Peepin and pickin!!!
So today we went on our annual apple picking adventure and got a great mix of Macoun, McIntosh, Cortlands and something called Jonathans (never head of em!) I made my very first apple crisp of the season with a little help from Matthew who chopped the apples and stirred the "crust" ingredients.. It is the easiest recipe ever and I got it from a neighbor who was about 12 at the time. I think you could pour this over any fruit and it would be delicious. I have used it over canned peaches in pinch and it was still yummy.. Here it is:
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 stick butter (melted)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 egg
mix together and put in clumps over whatever fruit you choose ( we prepared cut up apples with some sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg sprinkled over them). Pat down mixture to make sure it covers your fruit.
Bake at 350 for one hour and top with your favorite vanilla ice cream!
I also have a healthy apple crisp recipe made with oatmeal but the kids like this one better. I LOVE FALL!
