Thank you! Thank you! For your overwhelming interest in this round of sign-up’s for Plucky Classics! I had to shut the sign-up’s down early as it was filled up, but no worries, there will be more. I promise!

The first weekend of Fall – sounds like a time to cook, doesn’t it? Here’s a recipe I just love….

Apple Crisp ~ this recipe is a somewhat modified version of a family recipe.

• Peel, core and slice 4 to 6  medium, tart cooking apples (Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith)
• 2/3  cup packed brown sugar
• 2/3 cup flour
• 2/3 cup either quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
• 1 stick butter (there have been times where I’ve had to add a little more butter).
• 1 tsp cinnamon (or more to taste – I like mine nice and cinnamon spicey so I usally add just shy of two tsps).
• Heat oven to 375 F.
• Grease bottom and sides of pan – either an  8×8 or a pie plate works great.
  Arrange apples in pan. Mix remaining ingredients. Sprinkle over apples. Bake about 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender.
• To mix things up a bit – I’ve been known to throw in dried cherries. Or to get really decadent – caramels. And, in the interest of full disclosure – I double the crisp portion of the recipe. People love love double crisp.

So, tell me… what are your favorite comfort foods? Favorite Fall foods?

Comfort knitting  = Socks. Really? Is there anything else?

And, finally got a finished photo of the National Park Socks.
