  • Hi bcquinn10,
    You should use all-purpose flour for this recipe. As for apples, these are the best kinds of apples to use in recipes like this: Baldwin, Cortland, Granny Smith, Gravenstein, Johnathan, Macoun, Newtown, Pippin, Northern Spy, Rhode Island Greening, Rome Beauty, and Winesap. Happy baking!

  • I want to make htis but I am confused about some of the ingredients. Should I use all-purpose or self-rising flour? And the apples, should I use green granny snith or red apples? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks so much!!

  • shortening or butter or margarine. One part of the recipe calls for butter or magarine and the instructions call for shortening. there's a difference. which should it be.

  • I don't know, 4 cups of flour and 1 cup of oatmeal seems like there should be either less flour and more oatmeal since it does say "OATMEAL and Apple crisp. Oatmeal also acts as a flour.

  • 3/4 Pounds of butter??? That would be three sticks. Is that right?

  • You need this much ingredients because you are also making crust.

  • Sounds wonderful, but how many does it serve. I have noticed in many of your receipes the servings has been omitted.

  • Thanks to everyone for the wonderful comments and helpful ideas. The recipe typo has been fixed and now shows the correct amount of cornstarch. Enjoy!

  • I caught on right away to the typo for cornstarch and used 1 1/2 tablespoons and it was perfect. The second time I made it I used Splenda brown suger blend and Splenda instead of sugar and about 1/4 cup less butter to reduce calories a little and it was just as good!

  • I'm dying to try this - I'm wondering if I could substitute apple sauce for the shortening like a lot of recipes do.
    Do you think it would be too much apple?

  • This recipe does have a lot of apples in it, so perhaps it does take the 4 cups of flour to cover them. The one and a half cups of cornstarch is definitely a typing error. I would say it would be one and a half tablespoons. Butter or margarine is often referred to as shortening. If anyone tries this, please post a comment so I will know how it comes out. Thank you

  • Is the cornstarch called for the right amount? I think that much will make it way to thick.

    Flag as inappropriate Sewing4fun  |  September 15, 2008

  • Well is it shortening or butter/margarine? Please advise.

    Flag as inappropriate LisaClover  |  September 15, 2008

  • Have you actually made this? 4 C flour? 1 1/2 C cornstarch?
