Pete Family Recipe Blog

I started this blog as a way of sharing the recipes in my mother's recipe boxes with my entire large family so everyone in the family can access any recipes they would like to have. My mom and dad both loved recipes and cooking. I think my mom liked baking better, and my dad loved to combine foods in new ways in cooking. The foods we ate while we were growing up are a memory that we all share. I'm sure my siblings will find a recipe or two that will spark some good memories. Please feel free to add recipes that I missed or send them to me and I will add them. I can also start a section of our favorite recipes if you send them to me.

Apple Crisp

Remember all the apples we used to peel and slice? I think we ate as many as we put in the bowl (at least I did!)

6 cups sliced apples
1 cup white sugar
1 cup water
2 T cornstarch
1 T lemon juice
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup fine coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 cup flour
3/4 cup quick oatmeal
1 cup brown sugar (or less)
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine

Spread apples in 9 inch square pan. Cook white sugar, water and cornstarch until thick and clear. Remove from heat and add lemon juice. Pour over apples and sprinkle with cinnamon, coconut and nuts. Mix flour, oatmeal, brown sugar and butter until crumbly. Spread over apples. Bake at 350˚ for 40 minutes or until apples are tender.
