Every fall I make this recipe. My mother, Joan Smith, made this apple dish every fall. We would load up the car with a picnic and travel to Pennsylvania to pick grapes. We would pick those purple grapes with the juicy insides to make homemade grape juice.
After we picked the grapes we would stop at a roadside park and eat the picnic lunch. She made this recipe and it immediately made me fall in love with fall and apples.
The recipe is as follows:
Mix:
1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder and 1 tablespoon soft shortening.
Add: 1/2 cup evaporated milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir until mixed.
Add: 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (any good baking apple will do)
Stir until apples are coated with the mixture.
Put into an 8x8 baking pan.
Topping:
2 teaspoons brown sugar, 4 teaspoons soft butter or margarine and 1/3 cup flour. Sprinkle over the apple mixture.
Bake at 400 for 30 to 45 minutes - don't let the topping burn - it should be nicely browned.
When we returned home mom would put the grapes in a juicer and make grape juice. She would can many, many quarts of grape juice for our shelves. It was delicious.
