Fall has finally occurred here. Time for Apple Crisp
This is a recipe my grandmother, (a Texas lady) made every year for the first day of school. Grandma is gone now, and no kids in school, so I make it once a year for the return of fall.
Apple Crisp-
As many of your apples peeled and cut, as it takes to fill a 9”x12” pan 2/3rds full. Sprinkle a goodly amount (1/2 t.?) of cinnamon and nutmeg on the apples and mix. Put 3 T. Cornstarch over the apples and stir in.
In a separate mixing bowl combine-
1 1/2c. Brown sugar
1c flour
2/3 cups butter (margarine does not taste very good in this too much water content)
1 1/2 t. Cinnamon
1 1/2 t. Nutmeg
I cup of “Zoom” hot cereal (like oatmeal, but rolled wheat)
Blend together until it looks like coarse cornmeal. Hand sprinkle the topping over the apples
Bake at 375 for 40 minutes
Top with butter pecan or vanilla ice cream.
Mmmmmmmm! Nothing better in the fall.

Nice tradition ! I knew a lady who made ham and bean soup and rhubarb crisp every Memorial Day because she’d go to the cemetery and invariably see some one from out of town so they got invited to her house.

This was something I grew up with and it was made often. It is the only recipe that I know by heart. Our version is very simple - one half; one; two. That translates to 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 cups of rolled oats. That and the apples are all we put in it. When I was young I think we packed that brown sugar now I put it in loosely. I think I will make one too, it is rather cold here today.
