When I started the CCChallenge, I thought I would blog about all the recipes from the multitudes of paper cuttings and books I picked up over the years but never looked at. But I seem to be buying new books now and the pile is simply increasing and the backlog becoming worse! 

This recipe is from the latest book that I bought – My Kitchen Years by Ruth Reichl. It a beautifully written book and talks a lot about the comfort and bliss cooking a meal brings to the cook. 

  

So here goes –

WHAT WE NEED

Apples, medium size           6

Lemon                                     1/2

All purpose flour                  1 cup

Brown sugar                          1 cup

Cinnamon powder               1 tsp

Salt                                           a pinch

Unsalted butter                    4 1/2 tbsp

WHAT TO DO

• Preheat the oven at 190C
• Peel the apples, core them and slice them thinly
• Add the lemon juice to the apples and toss well
• Mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon powder and salt in a bowl
• Cut in the butter into the flour mixture and mix well
• Arrange the apples in a baking dish and pat the flour mix on top of it
• Bake for 45-55 minutes till the top is crisp and the Apple juice bubbling
• Enjoy!
