The book has this recipe more than once. Also here as Apple Crisp in Recipe Box. Same dish, different piece of paper — kept separately on purpose, because each copy came into the house its own way.
Read this one with the card open. Something on it is illegible, missing or ambiguous. It is transcribed exactly as written — nothing has been guessed or filled in — and every uncertainty is marked below.
Summary
A stovetop-apples, oat-free crumb-top apple crisp, worth pulling up when you want a fast baked-apple dessert without needing a specific pan size or bake time already in hand.
Ingredients
- 4 cups apples
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 2/3 cup flour

- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup butter
Method
- Cut apples.
- Pour water and lemon juice over apples.
- Mix cinnamon and white sugar; pour over apples and stir in.
