- 11
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 3 cups apples, in 1/2-inch slices (about 1 pound)
- 5 ounces sugar (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 ounces flour (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup buttermilk
- 1⁄4 cup sliced almonds
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons demerara sugar
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together apples, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice: stir constantly until mixture comes to a simmer, then remove from heat.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until it becomes golden in color and takes on a nutty aroma, about 2 to 3 minutes; pour brown butter into an 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt; pour in the buttermilk and mix just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- Spoon the batter on top of the brown butter, using a spatula to smooth out the batter, but being careful to not mix it into the brown butter.
- Scatter the apples and juice on top of the batter; sprinkle almonds over top and dust with nutmeg and demerara sugar.
- Bake until golden, 50 to 55 minutes; transfer pan to wire rack to cool.
- Serve warm.

<p>We may live without poetry, music and art;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
