This one is from August 7, 2006. This particular combination of items in the crust is a direct consequence of ingredient shortages.
----------
2-3T lemon juice
a bunch of apples
1 stick butter
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2t cinnamon
first, i got the oven preheating on 350. then, i squirted some lemon juice into the pie dish, and as i peeled and cut the apples, i put them into the dish. the lemon juice helps to keep them from oxidizing, and it sours things up somewhat. once the dish was pretty much level-full, i stopped. i think there are 2 apples left out of that 3lb bag. next, i got out a stick of butter and got it started melting. then i realized that i didn't have sugar, so with some quick improvisation, i mixed up the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. those are approximate amounts, both due to the way i cook (measuring utensils make handy scoops (i.e. What do you mean, "level it off"?), and due to me finishing off both the barrel of oats (slightly more than advertised) and the bag of sugar (slightly less than advertised). i have no idea if it'll actually be a good mixture or not, but we'll find out tomorrow. anyway, drizzle the melted butter on top, and i set it to cook for 55 minutes. basically, until i saw that it was bubbling in the middle.
