Silver Falls Apple Crisp

The Apple Crisp recipe made famous by Silver Falls' Annual Turkey Supper and Scout Lunches.  It has been published in National Magazines.  Easy to make and guaranteed to please a crowd.  For large crowds, we typically divide it into fifteen servings.

 Filling:
½ c white sugar                 ¼ tsp cinnamon

½ c brown sugar                ¼ tsp nutmeg

apples (8 to 10)

Peel, core and slice enough apples to fill a 9 x 13 pan ¾ full.  Combine the sugar, spices and apples and pour in the pan.

Topping: 

1 ½ c brown sugar             ½ tsp salt

2 c oat meal                      ½ tsp soda

1 ½ c all-purpose flour

1 c margarine cut into other topping ingredients

 Spread topping on apples.  Bake at 350^oF for 40 to 50 minutes or until apples are tender.  Makes 15 servings.

Served at one of the Board Breakfasts.  An essential part of any Ulster Fry

3 cups flour

2 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cream of tartar

1 1/2 to 2 cups buttermilk

Blend dry ingredients.  Add buttermilk.  It makes a very wet, sticky dough.  Turn out onto a well-floured surface and knead 8-10 times.  Divide in half.  Roll out half the dough into a 9" circle.  It should be about 3/4" thick.  Cut into quarters (a pizza-cutting wheel does a great job).  Transfer to a medium hot, dry frying pan (an electric griddle set at 350^oF works well.)  Bake for 5 minutes on each side or until light golden brown.  Flip up onto the cut edges to cook them (3 minutes per edge).  Cool for 5 minutes.  Cook second half of dough the same way.

Split the way you would an English Muffin.  Serve hot with butter and jam.  Or, after splitting them, toss into the frying pan after cooking your breakfast bacon.  You only need to fry up the split side.
