Mom's Easy Apple Crisp

Several years ago, a friend of mine made this easy dessert.

Matter of fact, she threw it together as we sat around the table.

Which, in my book, means it's a great recipe to have on hand.

Now that Fall weather has settled in, I decided to make this the other night.

I halved the recipe.

There were only 4 of us for dessert and I didn't want a lot left over.

It worked out perfectly!

The original recipe doesn't use oatmeal.

But I like the oatmeal. I reduce the amount of flour and make it up with old fashioned oats.

I also like that this recipe makes it's own delicious sauce.

Just perfect!

Mom's Easy Apple Crisp

6 apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)*
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup water

Crumb Topping

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup flour (or reduce the flour to about half and add old fashion oats)
1/4 tsp. salt
6 TBSP butter, melted

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Toss the apples with the sugar and cinnamon. Add the lemon juice and water. Toss to coat.

Pour into a greased 8 X 8 pan

For the topping; mix the brown sugar, flour (and oats, if using) and salt together. Add the melted butter and stir until coarse crumbles form.

Sprinkle over the apples and bake for 40 minutes.

Serve warm.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
