My Mother's Easy Apple Crisp

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

In a 9 x 13 pan place
6 cups peeled & sliced apples (I just cut apples until I fill the pan)
sprinkle the top with 2 TBSP lemon juice

In a separate bowl, mix
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup oats
2 tsp cinnamon

Cut 1 cup margerine or butter into flour mixture.

Sprinkle topping on your apples.

Cook in the oven for 45 minutes! Serve with ice cream & caramel sauce!

Peg’s Old Fashioned Bread Pudding
( I honestly haven't tried this one either--but it's my Grandma's recipe so it has GOT to be good!)

1 tall can evaporated milk
1-2/3 cups water
2 eggs, slightly beaten
½ cup sugar
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. Vanilla
3 slices bread, buttered and cut into 1” square cubes with crust removed
½ cup raisins

Scald milk and water together. Mix eggs, sugar, salt, nutmeg and vanilla. Add hot milk mixture. Place half of bread in bottom of buttered casserole. Add half the raisins. Add remaining bread, raisins and egg mixture. Press cubes lightly into the liquid. Place dish in pan of hot water. Bake in 375 degree oven until custard sets and an inserted knife comes out clean – approximately 45 minutes. To serve, cut in squares and serve with Dip Rosie Sauce (follows)

Dip Rosie Sauce

Mix 1-1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch and ½ cup sugar. Slowly add, while stirring, 1 cup boiling water. Add 1 Tbsp. butter and 1 (or more) tsp. lemon juice, lemon flavoring (or any other flavoring.) Cook over low heat until thick and transparent. If serving bread pudding warm, use warm sauce. If serving bread pudding cooled, serve with cooled sauce. (Grandma prefers it cooled.)
