Recipe for "apple-crisp"

NAME

     APPLE-CRISP - Easy baked apple dessert
     I got this recipe from Marsha Foregger.  It's very easy  and
     makes a yummy dessert.

INGREDIENTS (serves 6 to 8)

     1 kg      apple slices
     150 g     sugar
     100 g     flour
     5 ml      baking powder
     4 ml      salt
     1         egg
     70 g      solid shortening (e.g. Crisco)
     2.5 ml    cinnamon

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Preheat the oven to 175 deg. C.
          (2)  Fill a greased baking dish (approximately  13 x 22
               cm) with the apple slices.
          (3)  Mix together with fork until  crumbly  the  sugar,
               flour, baking powder, salt and egg.  Sprinkle over
               apples.
          (4)  Melt the shortening, cool slightly and  pour  over
               apple-flour   mixture.   Sprinkle  with  cinnamon.
               Bake 30-40 minutes at  175  deg.  C.   Serve  with
               vanilla ice cream.

NOTES

     I usually sprinkle some raisins and walnut halves  in  among
     the apple slices.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 10 minutes preparation, 40  minutes
     baking.  Precision: measure the ingredents.
