Apple Crisp
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup flour
3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
6 to 8 cooking apples, about 3 pounds
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
grated rind of one lemon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Combine sugar, flour and butter in a mixing bowl and mix well with the
fingers. Set aside. Peel, quarter and core apples. Cut apple quarters
into thin slices and place the slices in a bowl. Blend cinnamon and
nutmeg and sprinkle over apples. Sprinkle with lemon rind. Add lemon
juice and toss to blend. Arrange slices in a baking dish (2 to 3 inches
in depth) large enough to hold them. Cover with the butter and brown
sugar mixture, smoothing it over. Place the dish in the oven. If dish is
very full, put a pan under the dish to catch spills. Bake at 375° for
55 to 65 mins, until browned and apples are tender.serves 8
