FRESH Ideas: Seasonal Apples - KYTX CBS 19 Tyler Longview News Weather Sports

EAST TEXAS (KYTX) - FRESH Ideas for Seasonal Apples 

This recipe comes from a good friend whose family owned an apple orchard in Barry, Illinois called Apple Basket Farms. Her great-grandfather acquired the farm during the depression and the family grew a variety of apples such as Jonathan's, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Fuji and Rome.

All members of the family would help with the harvest that began in August and ended in early November. This was a popular family recipe that is perfect for any occasion.

Lisa Breda's Apple Crisp

6 to 8 tart apples (Honey Crisp, Granny Smith or Pink Lady)

2 cups sugar

1 t cinnamon

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

3 teaspoons baking powder

½ cup melted butter

½ cup milk

Slice apples into a 9x13 ungreased pan (or two 8x8 pans). Mix cinnamon into one cups of sugar and pour over slices. Mix together the flour, salt, remaining cup of sugar, and baking powder. Add to this the melted butter and stir well to get a crumbly mixture. Spread this over the slices and dribble the milk over the top. Bake at 375 for 50 minutes. @@
