Happy Fall Y' All with Apple Crumble!

Do you have too many apples and are wondering what to do with them? The archives is to the rescue with a fun, easy recipe to make during the fall season. Try Apple Crumble from Stout’s Favorites 2nd ed. cookbook, 1958, p. 65, available via the Internet Archive:  https://archive.org/details/StoutsFavoritesSecondEdition/page/n69/mode/2up



The cookbook was published by the Home Economics Club of Stout State College, 1958, featuring favorite recipes of faculty and students, and "dedicated to all those people who enjoy preparing and eating good food.” The recipe was submitted by Ardala Littlefield, a 1961 Home Economics Education graduate from Turtle Lake, WI. Ardala was involved in the Lutheran Student Association and Alpha Psi Omega while a student. According to the Spring 1975 Stout Alumnus, Ardala was a Home Economist with the University Extension in Tomahawk, WI, at the time.

The archives staff tested out the recipe, and we highly approve. It is similar to making apple crisp, but tastes like apple pie. It also tastes great topped with whipped cream or ice cream. Happy Baking!
