It's full-on apple season here in Michigan! Apples by the crates everywhere! We love us some apple pie, but for a change (and a whole lot less work) we made an apple crisp.

As always, Great Video Kevin.
Simplicity to me always brings out the best flavors. Bravo.

Have you ever tried mixing Apples? Like using two Red Delicious and two Granny Smith's? It gives a boost in flavor that is quite nice. I love Apple Crisps.

When I peel apples, I seem to have them begin to turn brown much faster than it appeared foryou. They seemed to sit in the bowl while you were peeling each one and didn't seem to turn brown like I usually experience.
K and R, really enjoy your videos and will make this one tomorrow. Is there blooper reel for Cav of F?

Rub some lemon juice on the apples after you peel them. They'll last a lot longer without turning brown.
Wonderful video again! I enjoyed it this morning on my Smart TV while I stayed in bed a bit longer. Old fashioned baking and modern media! lol
To answer Bob's question, it depends on the sort of apple. You can read more here:

Kevin I just love the recipes that you post and the videos as well. I am going to make this soon. I made your Michigan Autumn Apple pie again yesterday with just Gala apples and it was so good that my partner told me that from now on I should just use those apples. I normally mix apples like Gala, Fuji, and Macintosh and it does come out well and is good as a combo, but just using Gala apples alone was superb. That recipe is my go-to recipe for apple pie.

Another winner!
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">This is another great recipe K and R. Thank you again for posting. I made this last night. I had no ice cream in the house but we ran to the store for some while this cooled. It was really good. I cheated a little though. I used my apple peeler, slicer, corer thingie and I used the food processor to make the crumble. I made pasta on Sunday and my wrists are still sore from kneading it. It's a bitch to get older!! Did you notice the missing corner? Just like yours!! Ha! Mine wasn't because I was going to a friends' for dinner, mine was because I just couldn't wait to taste it as it cooled!!</span>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">I shared this recipe with a friend. He made it with all granny smith apples and felt it was too sour. He also suggested he might make it again with 1/2 granny smith and 1/2 something sweeter.</span>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">I do have a question about the recipes. I love the look and I'm dying to know if you actually type them on an old typebar typewriter or do you have a font for your computer that makes it look like that. I run a call center and most of my folks are 20 somethings. As I was printing the recipe one of them said "Wow, what a cool font. Where did he find that?" I suggested you actually typed it on an old typebar typewriter and he looked at me like I was speaking another language. I did promise to ask even though I think I know the answer.</span>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Half of these guys look at me crossed eyed if I suggest going to a DOS prompt for something I can't imagine what they DON'T know about an old typewriter!!</span>

Chach! Yours looks better than the one I made!! So glad you tried the recipe and liked the finished product. I would keep the tart apples to less than half of the mix, because the tartness can dominate - or you will need to up the sugar in the recipe. Yours looks picture perfect!
I generally type my recipes on a typewriter. Then I take a photo of the typed page. Yes, it would seem easier to just type the recipe in Word and save the file, but I enjoy typing on a typewriter, and I have a couple that I keep in good working order, so they need to be used often. The one I usually use for the recipes is a typewriter is my trusty old friend, the Underwood Golden Touch:

I'm not a fan of tart apples...
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">So it's not likely I'll try those. I don't know what kind of apples I used last night but they were sweet and made a nice dish. By the way, you don't know how I chuckled to myself as I snuck that little spoonful. My partner asked what I was snickering about and I told him you'd just have to watch the video. I probably had the same devilish smile on my face that you had. The video would be wasted on him though. He thinks anything made from scratch is too much work. He certainly doesn't mind eating it though!!</span>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Love the typewriter. I see them all the time at Estate Sales. I really should pick one up but I guess I've always been afraid I won't find ribbons, etc.</span>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Oh and Kevin I have to tell you again, our all time favorite from your videos is the one you did on Sweet and Sour chicken. I don't know how many times I've made that. It's so easy and people think it's so much work. It's great for a crowd or to have in the frig to heat up for a quick snack.</span>

If you don't want to use lemon juice for some reason, you can use vodka. Just make sure it's a decent brand. I.e. anything Polish 
[Topic Drift: the brand Luksusowa is made entirely from potatoes, so people who can't tolerate wheat can still enjoy vodka]
I learned to type on old typewriters like that. There's a lot of things younger people have never seen. When I taught HS state tests would make references to or show pictures 8-track tapes, LP's, and other things that my students had never seen or heard of.
When I was in college, compact TTY's were this exciting new thing that had taken the Deaf community by storm. They were about the size of a 10" laptop and ran on batteries so you could take them everywhere with you. Now, some of the college students I work for have never even heard of them! Below are pics of the original type converted form old telex machines, late 80's TOL, and late 80's "Compact"

Re Apples
Personally I always thought the more sour the apple the better pie it would make, unfortunately the old fashioned apples I remember as a child cant be found any longer, We had 4 Horse Apple trees in our yard when I was a kid, My Grandparents planted them in the late 20s, and those little green apples really made the best pie ever, I also remember Grandmother buying Limbertwig,and Jonathan apples that were good, no one knows what those are anymore, I use Golden Delicious ,or better yet Grimes Golden Delicious if I can find them, Grandmother also used a apple she called a Transparent, when cooked they stayed in pieces and were almost clear and were kind of chewey, she often just cooked those and boy were they good.

I almost left out the BEST!
A good friend of Grandmothers had June Apple trees, once in a while She would give us some of them and Grandmother would make a pie out of them, the raw fruit was white, but when it cooked it turned a bright pink color and these were absolutely wonderful.

I haven't heard of any of those apples..
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">...but I sure enjoy hearing stories like these that bring back great memories. I honestly don't know what kinds of apples my Mom uses to make her pies. I'll have to ask her.</span>
