A new menu item

Apple Crisp.

I am adding it to our weekly menu. It can be a dessert or breakfast dish at the Hime home. (yes, today it was breakfast :)
Soooo super Yummo!

Peel, core and slice 6-8 apples to desired size.
Toss with a Tablespoon or two of flour and apple cider (juice or water can also be used)
Stir to make sure apples are covered.
Pour apples into a sprayed 8x8 pan

Mix into a large bowl:
1/2 cup flour (I use spelt)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup granulated sugar (I use granulated honey)
1/2 cup butter
A few generous sprinkles of cinnamon and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or strong fork blend all ingredients until mixture resembles coarse sand-your arm might get sore, but keep going until there aren't any crumbs. Use your muscles ladies!

Cover apples with the oatmeal topping -pushing down to make it all fit if necessary. It is important to try to cover all the apples with the topping so they can soften into a delectable treat.

Bake at 350 for appox. 35 minutes.

*I normally use pink ladies or golden delicious-I like the tangy sweet apples. But others can be used as well! Rule of thumb...if you like the apple raw, you will love it cooked!
