Apple Crisp
Copyright © 2004 by Michelle Jones, editor of BetterBudgeting.com

A delightful treat for the family, especially when apples are plentiful, and the crisp topping can be made for any fruit you have on hand (such as peaches or pears).

Ingredients:

6 large apples, cored and sliced (golden delicious or granny smith are a great choice)

1/2 c. orange juice

1 c. sugar

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

3/4 c. flour

6 T. butter or margarine

Directions:

Stir orange juice over apple slices and coat well. Arrange apples in a greased baking dish.

Combine 1/2 c. of sugar and the cinnamon, sprinkle over the apples.

Then combine remaining sugar with flour and salt, and cut in butter until mixture becomes crumbly.

Spread crumb mixture over apples and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is lightly browned.

Serve warm.  (This is also really great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!)
