Louisa May Alcott's Apple Slump
- Servings: 6
- Time: about 15 minutes preparation, plus about 50 minutes for baking
Ingredients:
· 4 to 6 tart apples (3 cups sliced)
· 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
· 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
· 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
· 1/4 teaspoon salt
· 1 1/2 cups flour
· 2 teaspoons baking powder
· 1/2 teaspoon salt
· 1/2 cup sugar
· 1 egg (well beaten)
· 1/2 cup milk
· 1/2 cup melted butter
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pare, core, and slice the apples. Lightly grease the inside of a 1 1/2-quart baking dish (I used a 9 in. x 9 in. square baking dish) with butter. Put the sliced apples into the dish. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples and stir to mix. Bake apples uncovered until they are soft, about 20 minutes.
While the apples are baking, stir together into a bowl the flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Mix into this the beaten egg, milk, and melted butter. Stir gently. Spread this mixture over the apples and continue baking until the top is brown and crusty (about 25 to 30 minutes). Serve with whipped cream.
