This recipe came about because I had lost my copy of Mom’s recipe and so had she, so her and I got together one Saturday and recreated the recipe, we feel better than the original!

Slice baking apples in a 9 x 13 pan until it is 3/4 full.

Pour 1 1/2 cups sugar over the apples.

Add cinnamon to taste over the apples and sugar (I put a good cover over mine, as we like the taste).

1 cup hot water over all of it.

Topping:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
• 3/4 cup butter (room temp)

Mix well and spread over the apple mixture.

Bake together in a 350 degree oven for an hour or until apples are soft.
