Fall Fruit Free-for-all: Apple Crisp
Every autumn I look forward to taking out my mother's vintage cookbook, Betty Crocker's New Good and Easy Cookbook, to make apple crisp. I should certainly know the recipe by now, but it's comforting to flip through the pages, turn to the stained recipe, and move my finger over the list of ingredients.
There are lots of recipes out there for apple crisp, but to me, this one is perfect. It calls for only a few ingredients ("yes" to oatmeal, "no" to walnuts) and takes just minutes to prepare. I'm looking forward to a season of crumbles, cobblers, slumps and pandowdys too, so feel free to share your favorite fruit recipes with me.
Apple Crisp
Ingredients:
4 cups sliced, pared and cored baking apples (about 6 medium)
2/3 to 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup Gold Medal Flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup soft butter
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Place sliced apples in greased 8" square pan or baking dish, 10 x 6 x 1-1/2", or 1-1/2 quart baking dish. Blend remaining ingredients until mixture is crumbly. Spread over apples.
2. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown. Serve warm with cream or ice cream.
Serves 6 to 8.

Unlike newer editions of the Good and Easy, this has basics: roasting times and temperatures for various meats, sauces, soups, stews, and favorite cookies. Some of my family's favorites are found here, curried fruit and chex party mix. It's a great basic cookbook for standard American fare, and spiral binding is a nice extra.
I get so much of recipes in Betty Crocker's New Good and Easy Cookbook..
