An old-time dessert such as this is just as delicious today.

Ingredients

4 cups peeled, thinly sliced tart apples (4 or 5)
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3/4 tsp. salt
1 cup water
6 Tbs. butter or margarine
1 Tbs. lemon juice
2 tsp. baking powder
2/3 cup milk

Directions

1. Arrange apple slices in greased shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish.

2. In small saucepan, mix brown sugar, 1/4 cup of the flour, the spices and 1/4 tsp. of the salt. Stir in water.

3. Place over low heat. Cook, stirring until thickened. Stir in 2 Tbs. of the butter and lemon juice. Pour over apples.

4. Mix remaining flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in remaining butter until particles are like cornmeal. With fork, stir in enough milk to make a soft dough. Spoon onto apples, making 8 biscuits.

5. Bake at 375F degrees for 40 minutes or until biscuits are browned and apples are tender. Serve warm or cool with desired topping or sprinkle lightly with brown sugar.
