Apple Crisp

So one of the things that I did last fall was picking all of the good apples off of our apple tree, peeling, slicing, putting fruit fresh on them, and freezing them. By the time I was done, we had over 50 cups of apples. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to use them for the first time, a little nervous about how they'd taste, but to my surprise, they were fabulous! They're still sooo fresh tasting.

I made some more recently and went ahead and did a large batch so I could do some mini apple crisps and take some into work. Here's some of the many pictures that I took of them.

Mom's Apple Crisp

15 cups sliced apples 

3 cups sugar 

3 t. cinnamon 

2 1/4 cups flour 

1 cup butter 

Mix 1 1/2 cup sugar with cinnamon. Sift the remaining sugar with flour. Cut the butter into flour mixture. Mix the cinnamon and sugar into apples. Put into large 9x13" pan. Sprinkle with flour/butter mixture on top.

Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.

I love eating this hot with some vanilla ice cream in it. 

If the recipe is to large, you can cut it down some to this:

10 cups sliced apples

2 cups sugar

2 t. cinnamon 

1/12 cups flour

2/3 cup butter

When you're mixing the part of the sugar with the cinnamon, reduce it down to 1 cup, instead of a cup and a half. 

Love to you and yours,
