Changing Days

Fall has arrived here in Michigan.  The leaves are beginning to change colors and fall from the trees.  The cider mills are in full swing which means there are apples everywhere.  The chrysanthemums adorn nearly every porch and every town has a fall festival.

I love apples and all the recipes that go with them.  My all time favorite would have to be apple crisp though and so I thought I would share one of my recipes for it with you today.

Apple Crisp

Apple mixture

3 pound bag of apples, peeled, cored and sliced. I always use Gala or Macoun apples.

(the recipe calls for 10 cups of apples, but the 3 pound bag was perfect...no measuring!!

1 cup white sugar

1 Tablespoon flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup water

Topping

1 cup quick cooking oats

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup butter (one stick), melted

Directions...

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place sliced apples in a 13x9 pan. Mix white sugar, flour and cinnamon and sprinkle over apples and coat them well. Pour water in pan.

In a separate bowl, mix all topping ingredients together. Spread crumble mixture evenly over apples.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Enjoy these beautiful fall days!
