BOUNTIFUL HARVEST

We are the grateful recipients of our neighbour's bountiful apple harvest.  I have made a lot of applesauce today, and the aroma is filling our home.  I want to share a favourite recipe, which is not only delicious, but so easy.

APPLESAUCE CRISP

Place applesauce in a baking dish.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg, as desired.  Cover with crumble topping, and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes, or until topping is brown.  Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

ONE-TWO-THREE CRUMBLE TOPPING

One measure flour

2 measures brown sugar, lightly packed

3 measures oatmeal

Stir together, then add 1 measure margarine or butter.  Mix until crumbly.

This topping can be made in any amount, and whatever isn't used may be frozen in freezer bags or containers.  Great to have on hand for an extra-quick dessert.

Note:  You may use sliced fresh apples, peaches, blueberries, or any fruit you desire in place of the applesauce.  Adjust baking time accordingly.
