Nine Sawtooth Stars


We’d bought several very large Honey Crisp apples last week, right before our veg box arrived with as many good-sized Fujis. I was suddenly reminded of Robert Frost’s After Apple-Picking: “I am overtired of the great harvest I myself desired.” We could never have eaten them all by ourselves, and they’re not varieties that make good applesauce. Instead they became dessert for Sunday dinner:

Apple Crisp

10 cups apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup water
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350F. Place apples in 9x13” pan. Mix white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples. Pour water evenly over all. Combine oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter together. Crumble over apple mixture. Bake 45 minutes. Serves 12.
