3 Tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Crumble Topping:
In a medium size bowl combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender or fork until well combined. Refrigerate while you prepare the apple filling.
Apple Filling:
In a small bowl stir together melted butter and flour until smooth. Add lemon juice, milk and vanilla and stir. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Pour butter mixture over apples and toss to coat. Pour apple mixture into the ֵ羺 Ruffled Square Baker and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for about 35 minutes or until golden brown and top is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve with vanilla ice cream and homemade caramel sauce, if desired.
]]>Filling:
8-10 granny smith apples (enough to fill about 3/4ths of the dish)
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
Juice of 2 lemons, divided
1 tbsp. corn starch
Topping:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 ¼ cup melted butter (2 ½ sticks)
Procedure
Preheat the oven to 350F and place the rack in the center of the oven.
Peel the apples and remove the core. Cut into 1/8” slices and place in a large bowl. Drizzle the juice from 1 lemon over the apples, toss together. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the apples.
In a small bowl mix together the cornstarch and the juice from the other lemon. Pour over the apples and mix together.
Pour all of the apples into the large ֵ羺 Modern Classics Rectangular Baker.
Put the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer. Melt the butter in the microwave. Pour the butter into the bowl and mix on low.
Mix to form crumbly dough. The dough will be kind of sandy, but should hold together when pressed, if it doesn’t, add a little bit more flour.
Grab a handful of dough and press together forming a palm-sized disk. The disks should be ¼ inch to ½ inch thick.
Place the disks on top of the apples.
Put into the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is nicely browned and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.

]]>1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
5 ½ cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 cup pecan pieces, lightly toasted
1 cup chopped almonds, lightly toasted
Instructions:
Dissolve the yeast in the water. Add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, mix, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Stir in the honey, oil, and salt.
Add the flour, a cup at a time, until you no longer can integrate any more flour.
Turn the dough out onto a counter with the remainder of the flour. Knead the dough until you form a smooth and satiny ball. If needed wet your hands if the dough needs a little bit more water to come together.
Put the dough into a bowl and drizzle with a tablespoon of oil; turn the dough to coat it with the oil.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place until it’s doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
Gently deflate the dough and knead in the nuts.
Lightly flour your counter top and shape the dough into an oblong oval loaf.
Cover the loaf with damp towels and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
