With all the snowy weather I thought today is a great day to turn on that oven and do a little baking.

Amish Apple Grunt

Diane Lapacek

1/2 c. sugar

2 T. butter

1 egg

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 c. sour milk or buttermilk **

1/2 tsp. vanilla

2 c. apples, peeled and sliced

Cream sugar and butter together.  Add egg and mix.  Add flour, salt, baking powder, milk and vanilla.  Mix all together.  Add apple slices and pour batter into a greased 8 x 8 pan.

Topping

6 T. brown sugar

1 1/2 T. flour

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 1/2 T. butter

Combine all ingredients, mixing until it forms coarse crumbs.  Sprinkle over apple batter.  Bake at 375-degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.

NOTE:  Serve hot with a scoop of ice cream. 

**If you don’t have buttermilk, substitute 1/2 T. vinegar plus milk to equal 1/2 cup.
