--Biscuit Topper--



  1 C flour

  2 T granulated sugar

  1 1/2 t baking powder

  1/4 t salt

  1 egg

  1/4 C milk, light cream or vanilla ice cream 

        (evaporated milk works well)

  1/4 C butter

 

In a large sauce pan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 

2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.  Stir in the 6 cups of peeled/sliced

apples.  Cook while stirring over medium heat, to boiling.

Cover and cook an additional 5 minutes or until apples 

are almost tender.  Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice.

Set aside, keeping warm. 

 

Thoroughly stir together 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons granulated

sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.  

Melt 1/4 cup butter in microwave and cut into the mixture 

until it becomes coarse crumbs.  Combine beaten egg and cream

and add to the dry mixture. Stir in to moisten.

 

Pour hot fruit filling into a suitably sized baking or casserole

dish.  Immediately spoon on the biscuit topper in 8 or so mounds.

Bake at 400 °F about 20 minutes. 

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.  (See "Whipped

Cream Substitute" recipe.)
