Apples and a Lost Tooth
Posted in Family Scrapbook

Today we had company and once more I served something "apple". The first time this precious family visited I made sour cream apple squares. The second time I made apple bread pudding in a crock-pot and today we had apple bake which was so yummy and so easy to prepare. I can't find the magazine (think it was Club House or something) from where I got the recipe but since it's still fresh in my mind, I'll jot it down now. Yummy Apple Bake 8 golden delicious apples 1/3 brown sugar 1 TBLS cinnamon 2 cups flour (I used whole wheat) 1 cup sugar (I used 3/4 cup sucanat) 1 and 1/3 sticks butter (I didn't have enough butter so I used 1 stick butter and 1/3 cup coconut oil). Grease a 9 by 13 pan Lay the sliced apples slices (that have been tossed with the sugar and cinnamon) on the pan. Mix the flour, sugar and butter/coconut oil. Mine resembled bread crumbs. Transfer this mixture over the apple slices and bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees F. Everyone had that and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and was it a hit. Okay, I need to mention Josh lost his first tooth last night. He was nonchalant about it. He told us he thought it was coming out and before I could say "Jack Robinson" pulled it right out. His sister took him to the sink to rinse his mouth and they presented me his not-much-bigger-than-a-rice-grain tooth while DH took pictures. I bawled a bit. My baby has lost his first tooth. At least it's not his front tooth. I don't think I can bear a "spacey" grin from him now. It'll make him look too grown-up. Ah, all of you with younger children just hug them all the more. They grow up too fast. A lost tooth today, graduation tomorrow... But no matter how old my children are, I'll continue baking them their favorite apple goodies...and each time I do I'll remember the fall of 2008 when Josh lost his first tooth. |
