Watergate Hotel Mom's Apple Crisp Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Peel the apples, if you like. They are fine peeled or unpeeled.

Step 3

Core the apples. Chop into small cubes. Apple chunks should be no smaller than 1 inch (or they will get too mushy when cooking).

Place apples into a large bowl.

Step 5

Add brown sugar, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Toss until apples are well-coated.

Step 6

Pour apple mixture into an oven-safe 8 1/2 x 12-inch casserole dish.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.

Step 8

Add egg and about 1/2 of the butter.

Step 9

Spread mixture evenly over top of apples.

Step 10

Sprinkle remainder of the butter on top of the crisp.

Step 11

Cover dish with foil.

Step 12

Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or a bit more until deep golden brown and bubbling.
