Apple Crisp

By

Marilyn Richards, of Spokane, sent in a color copy of what is perhaps the most tattered and stained Dorothy Dean newspaper clipping still in use. She was planning to pick apples from the backyard and make it the day she mailed it. “It has been passed down through our family over the years, and if lost, the phone rings (sometimes long distance) for instructions on how to make it,” she wrote. The recipe was published in 1949.
