Apple Crisp

This apple crisp has a secret ingredient that keeps the topping from getting soggy! Use fresh-picked apples for the filling - don't add anything else and let the tangy flavour of the apples contrast perfectly with the sweet crunch of the topping. 

Ingredients:

• 6 cups apples, peeled and sliced
  
• 1 cup sifted flour
  
• 1 cup sugar
  
• 1 tsp. baking powder
  
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  
• 3/4 tsp. salt
  
• 1 egg, beaten
  
• 1/3 cup butter or shortening, melted and cooled
  

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  
• Place sliced apples in a greased 6 x 10 inch baking dish. 
  
• In a separate bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt. Add egg and mix together until crumbly. 
  
• Sprinkle over the apples. 
  
• Drizzle the melted butter or shortening on top.  
  
• Bake about 45 minutes, until topping is lightly browned.
