Recipe #5: Cinnamon-y, Nutmeg-y, Delicious Apple Crisp

Sometimes when you make apple crisp, you have to make a miniature one for yourself, to be eaten immediately.

The recipe for this week is actually one of the few recipes I made semi-annually in the pre-cookbook blog era.  It's from my trusty Betty Crocker cookbook.  I found it at a Goodwill store a few years ago.  It's the exact same 1973 edition as my mom's, so I already knew where most of the recipes were.  This is our family's go-to cookbook.  Almost always, when I ask my mom how to do something she says, "Check Betty."  It's our go-to for strawberry shortcake, gingerbread frosting and even pancakes.  (Although, my mother "accidentally" left out her secret ingredient when telling me where to find the pancake recipe.)

The Salisbury family cooking bible.

This recipe is super delicious and easy to make.  The one and only part of this that stinks is the peeling and prepping of all the apples.  Worst.  Someday, I shall invest in one of those peeler/corer/slicer devices.

Seriously, look at all that fine hand-peeled apple rind.

Aside from the extensive apple prep, this recipe is super simple: flour, sugar, a whole stick of butter, cinnamon and nutmeg, all mixed together, then dumped on top of the apples.  Then, you just bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

Then, when it's finished, your entire apartment smells amazing and you have this....

It's magnificent!
