Fresh Raspberries - Before and After

***BEFORE


Leon got such a deal at the grocery store the other day. Raspberries for $1 a pint. What a deal!! They are usually $3-$4 a pint. So of course he grabbed 4 pints. Now the responsibility falls to me. What to do with them? We could eat them plain and raw - that would certainly be the healthiest; but what fun is that? So I googled raspberry recipes and came up with a crumble that had apples in it. Now Leon loves apples and loves raspberries, so I knew this was the one. Here is the recipe in case you find a deal on raspberries too. By the way, the raspberries we got were from Kroger. I don't know if all of their specials are the same everywhere, but you never know.

Apple Raspberry Crumble
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 10 oz. package frozen raspberries (obviously I used fresh and it turned out fine)
1 C all purpose flour
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C unsalted butter (ouch!)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Arrange apples in buttered 8x8 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Sprinkle raspberries over apples. Mix flour and sugar in bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture over the fruit. Bake at 375 degreens for 25 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream (we just ate ours plain)
