Apple Crisp

I am excited about sharing some of my favorite family recipes that are centered around the apple.  Nany makes the best apple dumplings ever.  I am not kidding as I have tried many around the country and the world and they never come close to hers.  I will share that recipe shortly but today we are going to start with something very easy.  Apple crisp is a quick and delicious dessert (or breakfast!) that can cook while you are eating.  The aroma of baked apples tantalizes your nose while you are finishing you meal.

Ingredients:

8 apples sliced (Nany says Granny Smith is best for baking)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. water
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter (softened)

Preheat oven to 425.  Peel and slice apples very thin.  Fill a casserole with sliced apples, water and cinnamon.  In a separate bowl, blend remaining ingredients until crumbly in texture.  Spread mixture over top of apples and bake uncovered for 50 minutes.

This is a great beginning to a successful baking adventure.  Please, let’s all bake something this week!  I know you can!
