| Ingredients: | 2 C. sifted flour
1 C. brown sugar 1 tsp. salt 1/2 C. butter 6-8 large apples 1 tsp. lemon juice cinnamon 1/2 C. sugar -- or less |
||
| Preparation: | Mix together flour, brown sugar, salt and butter to make a crumbly mixture that is well blended (pastry blender works the charm). Slice pared and cored apples into large buttered baking dish, and add sugar to your taste (more if the apples are especially tart), lemon juice and a generous sprinkling of cinnamon. Cover with dry mixture. Bake in a moderate oven, 350-375 F, until apples are tender, about 30-40 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (or both!). | ||
| Notes: | I used less than 1/4 C. sugar for 10 smallish Stayman apples. I wouldn't advise using a food processor to make the topping as the heat generated would soften the butter too much. You want the butter firm but not hard. | ||
