Good and Easy Apple Crisp and Apple Cake Recipes

Lynn Mason
There is nothing more delicious than crisp red apples in the fall. These easy recipes take advantage of the delicious autumn apples. My grandma made this apple crisp every year with apples from the big old tree in the backyard. It's simply the best apple crisp recipe I have ever tasted. Apple cake is another wonderful way to enjoy the season's bounty of apples. This deliciously quick and easy recipe is a family favorite.

Grandma Dorothy's Apple Crisp

4 - 5 apples, peeled and sliced into a baking dish

Mix together:

1 cup brown sugar

¾ cup instant oatmeal

½ cup flour

1 stick (1/2 cup) softened margarine

Spread over top of apples and bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes or until apples are done. Serve warm with vanilla ice-cream, if desired.

Quick Apple Cake

¼ cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

2 cups peeled and chopped apples

1 cup flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. nutmeg

    I'm hungry! The recipes sound great. Actually, although we get apples here, they are expensive. I miss buying them by the bushel.
