The origins of this recipe are unclear but I always thought it was a family recipe passed down. Either way, it's delicious. It's more of a crisp or cobbler than a pie. It's the quickest apple dessert and the first that we always make in the Fall. We have also made it with peaches, yum!
serves 6 maybe
cinnamon, a sprinkle
sugar, a sprinkle
1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 egg
optional: walnut pieces
Slice or dice enough apples so they are maybe an inch deep in your pie plate or 8 inch square dish. Toss with cinnamon and sugar in pie plate or square dish or something of similar size. Melt a stick of butter, add a cup of sugar, a cup of flour, one egg, walnuts optional. Pour/dollop over apples. Bake till slightly browned on top. Maybe 30 minutes minimum in a 375 oven. But any temp works. It's not picky. Let cool slightly before serving. It's just as delicious room temp as it is warm.
