A couple of great fruit recipes

I am really loving all the summer produce. I am enjoying eating it fresh as well as preserving it for later. Again this week I did some more tomato juice and another 1/2 bushel of apples for applesauce. We should be good with applesauce now! I also picked up some peaches. Perhaps preserving is my way of avoiding the other housework that needs to be done! Who wants to do laundry and clean anyways??? Here are two recipes we always enjoy each summer. I also have 6 apples waiting on our counter to be made into apple dumplings!

Apple Crisp

4 c. peeled, sliced apples
1/2 t. salt
1/4 c. water
3/4 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1/3 c. butter
cinnamon

Place apples in buttered 10x6x2-inch pan. (I used a 9x9) Sprinkle with the salt and water. In a bowl, rub together flour, sugar and butter; drop mixture over apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm with cream or ice cream.

I usually just fill the pan really full of apples, they tend to bake down. While eating this apple crisp Andrew said very sweetly without any prompting "This cake is good, Mom. Thanks for making this cake for us."


That's Good Peaches

4 cups peeled, sliced peaches (I use more like 5 0r 6 cups)
1/3 cup Bisquick
2/3 cup oatmeal
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar

Spray crockery with non-stick spray. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients together. Stir in peaches and pour in crockery.
Cook on Low for 4-6 hours.

Yesterday when I made this, I didn't have any Bisquick. I used flour and it still seemed to turn out pretty good.
