A great dessert on the homestead, using items that are readily available. If you have a great apple harvest, or love using organic products, this recipe would be a great addition to your collection.
Ingredients
6-8 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
or cane sugar
1 teaspoon ground
cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup molasses or
honey
1/2 cup water
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking
powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter or
lard
1/2 cup milk or
water
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and
molasses or honey. Toss to coat the apples evenly. Transfer the apple mixture
to a greased cast-iron skillet or a deep baking dish. Add the water and spread
the apples out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and
salt. Cut in the butter or lard using a fork or your fingers until the mixture
resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk or water and stir to form a soft dough. Drop
spoonfuls of the dough over the apples, spreading it out somewhat but leaving
some gaps for the apples to peek through.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the
top is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly. Let it cool slightly
before serving.
