On Sunday I learned there is more than 1 kind of crabapple. There is an ‘eat off the tree’ variety. It’s a bit bigger than the kind we had growing up.
Those were good for neighborhood kid wars and having Gma make jelly. Oh, those were the days.
I ate one on Sunday and had the good fortune to take a bunch home. I thought fondly of the jelly my Gma made but I really don’t have the equipment to do that properly.
So I pulled out my cookbook and made a crisp.
I didn’t have enough brown sugar. Forgot to put it on the list this week. But I did have a jar of molasses in the back of the fridge.
I mixed the topping and covered the apples. I had quartered them and saved the seeds.
I had a hard time waiting for it to cool and then wished I had vanilla ice cream to go with it!
