The Size of an Apple

Things the size of an apple:  black sheep (Tina's favorite squeaky toy), a tennis ball, a large rubber ducky, and a baby 15 weeks into pregnancy.

Yes, that was an announcement (and not that we have a large rubber ducky).






So, logically I needed to make apple crisp to celebrate.





5-8 Apples, sliced

In a saucepan:
1 C Sugar
3 Tbsp Cornstarch
1 C Water
1 tsp Vanilla

First mix sugar and cornstarch together, then add the liquids.  Bring to boil, cooking until thick and clear.  Pour over apples and mix well.

Topping:
1 C Brown Sugar
1 C flour
1 C Oats
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 C butter, softened

Mix dry ingredients together, then cut in the butter.  Mixture will be crumbly.

Put a little topping in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.  Dump apples into the pan.  Cover apples with remaining topping.  Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes, until apples are soft-ish and bubbly.  Serve with ice cream.
