Apple Crisp (Yellow Farmhouse)
An assortment of apples works well
This is a good recipe to make if you have a lot of apples and lemons rolling around in the bottom of your fridge drawer as I did. I had a mix of hard and soft fleshy apples. The variety of apples made for nice texture in the crisp and new taste sensation in every bite.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Toss prepared fruit with lemon juice, sugar, lemon rind, and ginger in a large bowl and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add the butter and rub into dry ingredients until the mixture looks crumbly and well mixed. Add the nuts and toss with your hands to incorporate. Be sure not to over mix, or the topping will become a sticky mess.
Place the fruit in a 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle topping over the fruit and bake for 30 minutes. Increase the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Fruit mixture should be bubbling and topping should be a deep golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes. Serve with heavy cream or vanilla ice cream.
