This recipe comes from Emily, our Website Coordinator. It’s super easy and relatively cheap, and perfect for impressing friends at fall potlucks. It works with all kinds of apples, even the ones you forgot about in the back of the fridge.
Ingredients:
Flour mixture:
- 3 cups flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 cup butter/margarine (2 sticks), softened
Apples:
- 10 apples, peeled and sliced (eventually; make the flour misture first)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
Directions:
- Mix 3 cups flour, ¾ cups sugar, and 1 cup butter/margarine (softened). This works best if you have a pastry cutter. If you don’t, use a fork! You want the butter to be in small bits, dispersed in the dry ingredients. The mixture should not be smooth—don’t melt the butter! If you forgot to soften the butter, use a cheese grater to grate it into the flour.
- Put half the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan. Press it flat with a fork.
- Peel and slice 10 apples and layer the slices in the pan on top of the dry mixture. Sprinkle ¾ cup sugar and 1½ teaspoons cinnamon on the apples.
- Pour the rest of the crumbly dry mixture on top and spread it out.
- Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
- Cut in squares and serve warm with ice cream or cold the next day!
