First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for the boys.  Jaden is now a 5th grader and Jonah is now a 3rd grader.  Here are some photos from their big day!

And now, here’s the recipe for Apple Slump.  If I’m remembering correctly, I got it out of the boy’s home-school curriculum a couple of years ago.  It’s super easy and the boys request it quite often for a special breakfast (even though it could easily be a dessert!).  I think of it as a coffee cake type of thing.  :)

Apple Slump

4-6 tart apples (I’ve also used pears.)

1/4 t. nutmeg

1/2 c. sugar

1/4 t. cinnamon

1/4 t. salt

1.5 c. flour

2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

1/2 c. sugar

1 beaten egg

1/2 c. milk (I’ve just used filtered water before.)

1/2 c. melted butter

Pare, core and slice up the fruit.  Preheat the over to 350 degrees.  Grease/Spray a 1.5 qt. baking dish.  Put the apple inside and cover with the sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and 1/4 t. salt.  Stir to mix it all up well and bake for about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, sift the rest of the dry ingredients together.  Add the wet ingredients and stir gently.  Spread this mixture over the top of the apples and bake for an additional 25 minutes.

Enjoy!
