Yeah I know that's not how it goes, but just humor me here. Today was not a fantastic day. My dreams of becoming a minivan mom were quashed by David with a few words..... "I was thinking" followed closely by "gas mileage". When you drive a Prius nothing that could carry an extra passenger or two will have comparable fuel efficiency. I don't need to research a thing to know this.
So in my pouting on the way home I decided I would bake. I came home and promptly churned out some fresh flour from both the soft and hard wheat berries. I found an acceptable pity party item with my google-fu.... apple crisp. Sugar? Check. Fruit? Check? Smells amazing while cooking? Check.
Recipe..
4 medium apples peeled, cored, and sliced
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup flour (I used soft white wheat)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup softened butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place apples in a pan, square or 13x9, whichever you prefer. I used a square pan and halfheartedly attempted to layer my slices nicely. Pour the water OVER the apples.
Mix the flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon and softened butter until it's crumbly then put it on top of the apples. I moved my apples around a bit to let the sugar mix get down between them. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the apples are soft.
And for the record aside from the apple crisp I did have a few high points to my day. I got a new battery and keyboard pannel put in my laptop, had a caramel macchiato (with extra caramel), and In-n-Out burger with my family. So I guess the day was really a wash, the apple crisp of course was the final step in evening it out. ;)
