APPLE CRISP - PERFECT AND EASY
I adapted this from a 50-year-old peach crisp recipe. Although it works well with peaches, it works even better with fresh, crisp cooking apples.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 14 by 2-inch oval baking dish.

- To make the topping, combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and cold butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is the size of peas. Scatter evenly over the apples.
- Place the crisp on a sheet pan and bake for 1 hour until the top is brown and the apples are bubbly. Serve warm.
APPLE CORNBREAD
A different twist on corn bread, this is sweet and very moist. It's been a favorite with hubby and the kids around here for years. If you dice the apples very finely, they almost disappear into the batter; leave them larger for chunks of fruity flavor. This is also good with cinnamon mixed into the batter (I usually do that more for a breakfast/brunch than dinner). Originally submitted by Nancy Kirkland in a church cookbook from Maryland.

Steps:
- Mix dry ingredients; set aside.
- In another bowl, combine milk, egg, and shortening (you may want to warm the milk slightly to keep the shortening from clumping back up, but not too much or you'll cook the egg).
- Add cornmeal mixture to wet ingredients.
- Add apple and stir gently; batter will be very thick.
- Pour into greased 9x9" pan and bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes.
- (To make sure it cooks through in the middle, since it is a heavier-than-usual cornbread batter, you may want to check about 20 min-- if the center still seems uncooked, cover with foil to prevent overbrowning and increase cook time as needed).
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe apples: This will ensure that your crisp has the best flavor. If you're using Granny Smith apples, you may want to peel them before cooking, as their skins can be tough.
- Don't overcook the apples: You want them to be tender but still hold their shape. If you cook them for too long, they'll become mushy.
- Use a variety of spices: This will give your crisp a more complex flavor. Some good choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
- Don't skimp on the butter: Butter is what gives cornbread its rich, moist texture. So don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
- Serve the crisp warm: This is when it's at its best. You can top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Conclusion:
Apple cornbread crisp is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy apples, moist cornbread topping, and warm spices, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and comforting dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
