Apple Goodie (Autumn Goodness at its Best!)

 

 

Hubby and I picked up a bushel of Granny Smith apples 2 months ago on the way back from the mountains. We paid $ 15 for the

 lot.

 

A good deal indeed.

 

My favorite dessert to make with them is called Apple Goody .I got the recipe from a Mennonite cookbook. It uses basic pantry staples along with the apples.

 

Here's the recipe:

 

Topping- 1 cup oatmeal

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup soft butter

2 tsp. cinnamon

 

 

Here are all of the dry topping ingredients together.

 

 

butter added

 

 

Use a fork or pastry cutter and cut butter in until the mixture is crumbly.

 

 

All mixed. Now set aside.

 

 

Now take 1 1/2 cups sugar

2 tsp. cinnamon

3 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon of salt

8 medium Granny Smith apples

 

Mix together well and set aside. This will be added to the apples after they are peeled, cored and sliced.

 

 

This is what I use to peel, core, and slice my apples with. I LOVE this little time saver. It makes  getting the apples ready so much easier and helps a lot if you have arthritic hands.

 

 

Put the whole apple onto the prongs.

 

 

Turn the crank and watch that apple get peeled, cored and sliced at the same time. It takes less than 5 minutes to take care of 8 apples.

 

 

Ready to be cut.

 

 

This is what the apple looks like before you take it off the slicer.

 

 

All peeled and ready to be sliced.

 

 

Slicing the apples.

 

 

Put the apples into a large bowl.

 

 

Add the sugar mixture to the apples.

 

 

Mix well.

 

 

Place the apple sugar mixture to a well greased 13x9 inch pan.

 

 

Pour the topping mixture over the apples.

 

 

 

Ready to go into the oven @ 350* for 40- minutes. When you can cut the apples easily and they are soft, it is done.

 

 

Smells so good!

 

 

HOT from the oven!

 

 

Enjoy!
