This week’s Martha Mondays got me craving plain old apple crisp, so I got to work and made one for my family, and also for my parents since my dad was having some surgery done. I make apple crisp the way my mom and grandmother did. We usually just dump, but I measured so I could share it here.

I made an 8×8 pan:

5 apples, peeled cored and thinly sliced

1/2 cup water

salt

cinnamon

1/2 stick unsalted butter

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 tablespoon cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 and spray your baking pan. Lay the apples in (you don’t have to go nuts and make it all symmetrical, just distribute them evenly). Pour the water over them then sprinkle with some salt and cinnamon. Place the rest of the ingredients in the food processor and whiz until you’ve got coarse meal. Spread that over the top. Bake for about an hour and 15 minutes.
