Back in the Kitchen

When I went into the big freezer in search of something else, I discovered a bag of frozen Cortland apple slices (chunks) that were dated October 2021. I had forgotten all about them. What to do? I have been checking out the cupboard supplies lately to be sure my items aren't outdated and found one box that was very close. Light bulb!  I will make an apple crisp in my new casserole dish. It will be a treat! This morning I undertook the project. I don't do much baking now as it is more difficult to clean up and use up the results, but.....The main work was already done. The three large apples from last year were already peeled, cored and sliced and ready! And, best of all I had never made an apple crisp in a pie plate, no less than one of special pottery! The recipe I dug out called for the exact amount of apples that I had so it seemed the best thing to do with them. 

And, yes I have both cool whip and vanilla ice cream to go on top. It will be my lunch today. The best thing is that a long-time friend will stop in tomorrow for an overnight visit as she travels up from SC vacation, to her home in western PA. I'll have a dessert ready.
