I have 4 apple trees in my yard. Luckily, one comes into fruit in the early summer and one in the early winter. The other two are full of apples right now and I’m a bit overloaded, cooking, drying, and sharing with neighbors. Apple crisp is one of our favorites, for desert or snack–or even breakfast around here! I usually make a crisp with an oatmeal topping but decided to try a new one the other night and it’s quite good!

Fill a 9×9 greased pan with peeled and sliced apples. Pour 1/4 cup of water over them.

Combine:

* 1/4 cup flour

* 1 cup sugar

* 1 tsp cinnamon

* 1/4 tsp salt

* 1/2 cup butter

Mix in your blender or food processor or with a fork until in small crumbly pieces. Spread over the apples. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, until apples are soft.
