Here is my favorite apple crisp that my wife Barbara always makes for our Thanksgiving feast. She got the recipe from a Fredericksburg cookbook. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do if you try it out. Let me know if you like it by emailing me at chuck@grassley.senate.gov.  

8 Apples (Granny Smith)

1/2 Cup Sugar

Cinnamon

1/2 Cup Water

Topping:

1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar

3/4 Cup Flour

7 Tablespoons Melted Butter

Method:

Peel, core, and slice the apples as for pie. Put in either a 2 quart casserole or a 9x13 pan. Put sugar evenly on top of the apples and sprinkle with cinnamon. Pour the 1/2 cup of water over the top.

Topping:

Mix brown sugar and flour together. (A fork works well.) Add melted butter and mix thoroughly. Spread topping evenly over the apples.

Bake at 375 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until apples are done. (Use a toothpick to test.) If using a casserole or a glass baking dish, lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
