Apple crisp

                    6 apples (preferably granny smiths)

·                     Teaspoon each of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger

·                     2-4 Tbsp sugar (depends on sweetness of apples)

·                     ½ cup butter

·                     2/3 cup sugar

·                     ¾ cup flour

Peel and slice the apples into small pieces and mix with the spices and a few tablespoons of sugar (less if you use pink/red apples). Place in a greased round oven safe dish.

Melt the butter and mix in the flour and sugar, Add more flour until the mixture is dry and crumbly. Top the apples with the crumb mixture.

Bake at 350 until the top starts to brown (30-40 minutes).

Cranberry Apple Salad-AKA the Pink Stuff

• 5-6  granny smith apples-grated
• 1 bag frozen cranberries, chopped finely in a food processor or blender
• 1/2-1 bag mini marshmallows
•  1 pint of cream-whipped with 4 tablespoons of sugar

Start by whipping the cream and sugar in a mixer on high. Once it has thickened to whipped cream, add in the apples, cranberry and marshmallow. Stir well and serve. 

If you want this dish a little sweeter, ad more marshmallows and more sugar to the cream. 

This dish freezes well and is also quite delicious slightly frozen. We serve it at Thanksgiving as a fruit salad but it would do for a dessert item as well.
