Great Great Aunt Sophies Apple Crisp Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Butter a deep 2-quart baking dish. Place the apples in the baking dish. They should be at least 2 1/2-inches deep; add more if necessary. In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg. Using a pastry blender or the paddle attachment of a mixer, cut in the butter to make a crumbly, sandy mixture. Sprinkle the topping over the apples. Bake for 30 minutes, until apples are tender and the topping is browned. Serve warm with heavy cream or ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the apples on a flat surface. Cut the cheeks from the apple, to remove the core. Cut into fairly thin, but not too thin, slices. Put them in a bowl and add the lemon zest and juice and the orange zest and juice. Toss to coat the apples, then add the molasses, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the cinnamon, ginger, and the nutmeg. Toss to blend.
• In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Add the butter to the bowl and break it up with your fingers integrating the flour with the butter. Spread it out on a plate or small baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Butter the bottom and sides of a shallow rectangular baking dish (approximately 13 inches long and 9 inches wide) with the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the apples and top with the butter-flour mixture. Put the dish in the center of the oven and bake until the apples are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. The topping should be golden brown as well, about 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool a few minutes before serving. To serve, garnish with additional lemon zest and ice cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Put apples in an 8 or 9 inch square baking dish.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl and mix.
• Spread crumble mixture over apples and bake for 35 minutes in a 375ºF degree oven.
• For an added treat top off with a little English custard.

Steps:

• After preparing the apples, put them in a large bowl.
• Add Apple Coating to Apples and stir until every slice is coated. Put them into a 9x9 baking dish. Pat down.
• Mix topping and put on top of apples.
• Bake at 350 degrees 40-45 minutes or until apples are tender.
• If you want to make a 9x13 pan, double the Apple Coating and use 1 & 1/2 recipe of the Apple Topping.
