Apple Jonakin

I said that I would post this recipe ages ago, but since I just made it and had the recipe handy, I thought I'd make good on my promise.

Peel and slice apples. Fill a 9 x 13 pan half full. I can't tell you how many apples this will take, so just peel one or two at a time.

On top of the apples, place a mixture of:
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
4 T. flour
1 c. sugar

For the biscuit topping mix:
2 c. flour
3 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/4 c. shortening
Milk

Add the milk until the topping is runny like cake batter.

Bake at 350 for about an hour. Toward the end of the baking time, check it to make sure the biscuit topping doesn't get overdone.

This is an absolute favorite in our family. DH grew up eating it soaked in milk and cinnamon sugar. I don't like soggy food, so I just eat mine like apple pie. It also works well for breakfast with a lovely cup of coffee.

Oh, thank you. That does sound yummy. Do you just use any kind of apples? I am going to share it with all my family. Very Happy

I will make it when the grandkids are up in a couple of weeks.

Any sort of good baking apple will do. We only make it from the apples we pick here on the farm. I've never had it with store-bought apples. Shocked

I am on a Gala apple stint.....I'll bet I eat 3 a day. I've read when you crave something it's your body telling me you are lacking something. What does craving apples mean? I'm low on worms?

Our neighbour gave us masses of apples last year. They don't know what sort they are but they are lovely to eat and they cook beautifully, which must be unusual, mustn't it.

I'll definitely be trying this recipe.

We eat our apples as well as cook with them. I like a really tart apple, myself. We don't even know what kind they are, really. They just get ripe and we pick them. We tried storing them in the basement, but they started to get pruny. I just sliced them up and froze them. It makes making a pie or jonakin really easy.
