Margie’s Apple Crisp

Crust:

2/3 cup oil

1/3 cup water

Mix the oil and water, then add:

2 ½ cup flour

Roll this out and fit into your pan.  I use one of those long rectangular stoneware dishes that I got from Pampered Chef.  If you have one of these, this recipe is perfect for that.

In a bowl, stir together:

½ cup of sugar

½ cup of flour

¼ tsp sea salt

1 tsp cinnamon

12 cups of chopped apples

2 Tbsp butter

Pour this on top of the crust.

Then, make another crust, roll it out, place it over the apples.

Bake at 425 degrees, for 1 hour.

When you get it out of the oven, it’s ready for a drizzling of:

1 cup of powdered sugar

Add just enough water (start with a few tablespoons) to give it a thick syrupy consistency.  Sorry this isn’t exact.

When the Vale’s came to our home a few weekends ago, Margie brought this Apple Crisp dish.  My husband loved this and had a hard time not taking one more piece.  He’s talked about it ever since.

.

In fact, this morning as he was leaving for work, he began to reminisce once more about Margie’s awesome Apple Crisp.  Now, I have to insert here for you here, that I have never baked a pie in my life, or if I did, I don’t remember it, and I must have had someone standing right by my side helping me every inch of the way.  But when Bob left for work this morning, and I looked at all those apples the kids had brought in for me and set down in an oversized bag and box, I began to think that maybe I could try my hand at Margie’s Apple Crisp.

 I love this picture - it is of my grandchildren playing with my children.

I called Margie, but the only one available was her daughter, Mara, who can make this Apple Crisp as good as Margie can.  She gave me the ingredients and the instructions.  Rachel and I worked together on this after Biology class.   Together, we managed this.  Now, tonight, I will surprise my husband with his own homemade Apple Crisp. I hope it’s good as Margie’s!

(The girls found some old fashioned clothes in a trunk when they were cleaning out a storage area this past Monday.  They even got Joshua to pose for a picture with them -although he doesn't look to happy about it!
