Today I decided to make another recipe from my 1940s recipe collection... and it was another winner

Apple and Banana Crisp was a delicious dessert from Woman's Day Magazine, March 1940. I had never thought of putting apples and bananas together but they complimented each other really well. We thoroughly enjoyed it...especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Apple and Banana Crisp

4 cooking apples, cored
Juice of 1 lemon
3 bananas
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg
Brown sugar topping

• Peel and slice apples and bananas into greased baking dish.
• Add water and lemon juice, sprinkle with spice.
• Spread topping over fruit
• Bake in moderate oven, 350° F., 30 to 40 minutes or until apples are tender.
• Serve warm.

Brown Sugar Topping
1/2 cup sifted flour
Few grains salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter

• Mix flour, brown sugar and salt.
• Work in butter with a pastry blender, or tips of fingers; do not cream.

Love and Hugs
