Apple Crumble


A newspaper clipping found in an old cookbook. I couldn't find a date on the clipping, however, mention of rations leads me to believe this is during World War II.

"Here is a dessert in which part of the sweetening is done with honey. Desserts such as this will make your sugar ration go farther.
Peel and core apples, slice and measure four cups. Place these slices in the bottom of a well greased shallow baking dish. Sprinkle one-fourth cup of sugar over the slices, then add two teaspoons of lemon juice and one-half cup of honey.
Combine one-half cup of flour, three tablespoons of brown sugar, a dash of salt and three tablespoons of butter. Work this mixture until it is crumbly.
Sprinkle over the top of the apples and bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumbs are lightly browned. Serve warm with thick cream."
