What's for Dinner? (Thursday)
Thursday's dinner is leftovers.
I had the pasta from last night, and for Jamie I put the last of the lentil stew in a pie tin with the last of the mashed potato, grated some cheddar on top and dubbed it "Hippie Pie."
But for dessert we had individual apple crumbles in adorable apple dishes Jamie's mother gave us for our wedding anniversary.
Apple Crumble for Two
For the topping:
1/4 C oats
1/4 C flour
little cinnamon and nutmeg
2 T brown sugar
2 T butter
Pack the apples into two small or one medium oven-safe dish. Sprinkle evenly with vanilla and brown sugar. (Few drops of lemon juice optional at this stage.) In a separate bowl, rub the topping ingredients together with your fingertips until they are homogeneous. Layer topping carefully into dish(es). Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until topping is brown and apples are soft. Serve with custard.
Apparently, crumble in Scotland has oats and in England does not. This is because of Samuel Johnson.
