4 pounds tart apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon lemon
1 - 11 ounce package butterscotch morsels
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Apple Crisp topping
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup quick or old-fashioned oats
Preheat your oven.
Arrange apples in 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Combine morsels, sugar, flour and cinnamon in small bowl; sprinkle over the top of the apples. Bake apples for 20 minutes, meanwhile put your apple crisp topping together.
Apple Crisp Topping;
Combine flour and sugar in medium mixing bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or use two knives until crumbly. Stir in walnuts and oats; sprinkle oat mixture over apple layer.
Now bake apple crisp for an additional 30 to 40 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is lightly browned. Cool slightly. Serve warm with ice cream, or lightly whipped cream.
Lightly Whipped Cream (Crème Chantilly)
½ pint or 1 cup chilled heavy or whipping cream
A chilled 3 quart bowl
A large wire whip, chilled
2 tablespoons sifted confectioners sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons vanilla liquor or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**2 thickness of damp, washed cheesecloth set in a sieve over a bowl**
Pour the cream into the chilled bowl and beat slowly with the whip until the cream begins to foam. Gradually increase beating speed to moderate, and continue until beater leaves light traces on surface of cream and a bit lifted and dropped will softly retain its shape. {In hot weather, it is best to beat cream over a bowl of cracked ice.} Gently fold in the sifted sugar and the flavorings.
**If you are whipping the cream in advance, turn whipped cream into the cheesecloth lined sieve over a bowl and refrigerate; the cream will stay beaten, and the delicious liquid that has seeped into bottom of bowl may be used for your coffee.**
Sieve; a utensil with a mashed or perforated surface, used for separation coarse from fine parts of loose matter, for straining liquids, etc..
