Pontiac County Recipes — Apple Crunch

Pontiac County Recipes — Apple Crunch

EmMcgrath

As part of an ongoing series, we are publishing one recipe every week from Pontiac County Recipes, a small book that is home to a collection of kitchen secrets from across the region, published by Pontiac Printshop in 1968.

Trust me, I am not trying to rush fall with this recipe, but my apples are already starting to sweeten up. So, simply in preparation (not eager anticipation) here is a recipe for an oatmeal apple treat that goes by many names but in this book goes by Apple Crunch. No matter what you call it, crunch, crisp, or crumble, it’s delicious. Enjoy!

Our rediscovery of this book last year has inspired us to recirculate its recipes, by way of this newspaper, through the communities from which they first came to us. 

If you recognize a recipe from either your grandparents’ kitchen, or from your own, please write to us. We would love to hear about how these recipes have lived on.
