Mom's Apple Crisp



This one is for you Rachel!  Guess where it came from?  Yep, my mom.  Not sure where she got it or if she just knew how to make it from her mom.  I often get recipes from her and from Brian's mom that say things like "bake until done" or "just enough salt" or "a little nutmeg".  I actually love those recipes cause it means that they're really GOOD!  Even though it means a little trial and error on my part to get them just right.  But this one actually had measurements with it AND it's really good - hallelujah!!

Mom's Apple Crisp

4 c. sliced and peeled tart apples (Granny Smith)
1/4 c. orange juice
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
dash of salt
1/2 c. butter

Preheat oven to 375.  Mound apples in buttered 9-inch pie plate or square pan; sprinkle with orange juice.  Combine sugar, flour, spices and salt in a separate bowl.  Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.  Sprinkle over apples.  Bake at 375 for 45 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is crisp.
