I don't claim to be a great cook or to have any original recipes. I love collecting new and interesting recipes and I especially love all my old favorites that I have used over the years. Many recipes are from family and friends and I love them because every time I use them I am reminded of that person and/or some great memories that are attached. I am using this format to begin to put all my recipes in one place. I have attempted this in many different ways but none have been very successful. I am hoping that this will do the trick. Right now for recipes I reference a few different cookbooks, a small 3x5 card box, and a large plastic tub with loose papers. Not a great system. This is my new leaf. Ideally, every day I can put at least one of my recipes into this blog. This will make it so easy and quick for me to refer to and also to share my favorites with friends and family who ask for recipes.

Perfect Apple Crisp

2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. butter, softened
2 c. rolled oats
2 qt. peeled, cored, and sliced apples
(fresh peaches or a couple cans of fruit pie filling are good also)
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 c. packed brown sugar

Combine flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. Cut butter into mixture until crumbly. Put half of the mix into a 9x13 baking dish and pat it in evenly. Cover with fruit, then sprinkle remaining mixture on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes.
