• To each bowl mix in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons melted butter; mix well to combine then finish mixing using your hands until the mixture is crumbly.
• To one bowl only add in 1/2 cup nuts (this bowl will be your topping mixture).
• Sprinkle the bowl without the nuts into the bottom of the baking dish; pat down only slightly with hand.
• For the apple filling; in a bowl toss the apple slices with lemon juice.
• In a small bowl mix together 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 2 teaspoons cinnamon and nutmeg; toss to combine; add to the sliced apples then toss to combine.
• Place the apples over the crumb crust.
• Sprinkle the remaining topping (with nuts) over the apple mixture.

CROCK POT APPLE CRISP DESSERT

Steps:

• Generously spray a crock pot with non stick cooking spray, line with apples.
• Mix together flour, sugar, spices and margarine in a bowl.
• Cover the apples with this mixture.
• (Pack it on top.) Cook on high for 3-4 hours.
• Scoop out a portion and serve with any or all of the optional toppings: Vanilla ice cream, Whipped cream or whipped topping, if desired.
• * I use a medium size crock pot to make this. Using a large crock pot will probably not work well as the ingredients will be too spread out and may burn around the edges.

KITTENCAL'S BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• I prefer to bake the apples on the second-lowest oven rack to prevent the apples from darkening on the bottom if you do so then you might need to increase baking time slightly.
• Prepare an 8 x 8-inch baking pan.
• Wash and scrub the skins of the apples then dry.
• Remove the cores to about 1/2 to 3/4-inch from the bottom (do not core all the way through and make the core about 3/4-inch wide).
• In a bowl combine the brown sugar with cinnamon, nutmeg (if using) and raisins.
• Place the cored apples into the baking pan, then divide/stuff the mixture into each hole of the apples.
• Top/dot with 2 teaspoons butter.
• Pour the boiling water into the pan.
• Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until just fork tender basting the apples with the pan liquid several times during baking (do not overbake or the apples will be mushy, check after about 25 minutes of baking time).
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

KITTENCAL'S DILL PICKLES AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING

Steps:

• Before you start this make certain to have 20 (1-quart) sterilized glass canning jars with lids.
• I sterilize my jars and lids in my dishwasher, remove carefully and do not touch the inside of the jars after washing.
• Place the sterilized jars on the counter to cool slightly and cover with a very clean tea towel while continuing with the recipe.
• Wash and scrub the cucumbers well under cold water.
• Using a fork or tongs divide and drop the pickles between all the jars but do not over stuff the jars as the pickles need room to absorb the brine properly.
• For the brine: in a large (very clean) stock pot combine the brine ingredients; bring to full a boil and simmer stirring for about 1-2 minutes or until no salt granules remain; turn off the heat then cover with a lid and continue with the next step but do not let the water cool the water must be hot when poouring into the jars.
• To each jar add in 1-2 springs fresh dill, 3 whole cloves garlic and 4-5 black peppercorns.
• Ladle the HOT brine into each jar up to 1/2-inch from the top.
• Immediately place the lids on but DO NOT tighten completely.
• TO PROCESS: place the filled jars in the large pot or canner with a wire rack on the bottom (make certain the the jars are NOT touching each other!).
• Pour in very hot water to about 1-inch over the jars; bring to aboil and process for 20 minutes at full boil (use a timer for this).
• Remove the jars; set aside.
• As they cool you should hear the lids popping and they should have a small "dip" in the middle.
• The lids may NOW be tightened securely.
• Store in a cool dry place.
• Allow at least 2 weeks before opening.
