Welcome to the Lower Elementary Upstairs first ever blog entry!
Stay tuned for future updates that will shed some insight into the age-old question, “What did you do at school today?”
You may have heard that we celebrated the life and legacy of Johnny Appleseed, the legendary American who spent nearly fifty years of his life planting apple trees and spreading peace. Some of the trees that he planted over 200 years ago still bear fruit today. Here is the recipe for the apple crisp we made, using 8 different varieties of apples from all around the world!
INGREDIENTS
* 8 apples
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* 1 egg
* 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1 tablespoon butter, melted
DIRECTIONS
1. Mix together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and egg. The mixture will look like cornmeal.
2. Peel, core, and slice the apples. Mix together with 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon. Place apples in a greased 8 inch square pan. Spread flour mixture over the apples. Mix together 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar; sprinkle over the top of the crisp. Drizzle with butter or margarine.
3. Bake at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for one hour. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
