Directions
Sheila’s Best Apple Crisp (No Oats), This is the apple crisp from my childhood (there is no oatmeal in the topping) If I could only pick one dessert to make the rest of my life, this would probably be it Mom always made this in her beautiful copper au gratin pan I bought the same pan when I got married, just so I could make this dessert Originally from the 1966 version of the Woman’s Day Encyclopedia of Cookery , Mom adapted it slightly over the years (with a little help from Cooks Illustrated I think) Cutting the apples into cubes (instead of slices) helps the apples keep the apples firm throughout I have made this with pecans or walnuts I have also made it without nuts I like it best with pecans, but all versions are yummy!! I love it warm or cold You can serve it with ice cream, but I usually only do that for dinner parties , If I doubled the receipt do I double the cooking time?, Add less water than required, apples were mushy and made the whole dish soggy and watery
