Lo and behold: It.
Who doesn’t love a good scary story around this time of year?.Once upon a time, back in 1900 when our house was built, it was just a little farmhouse out in the middle of nowhere.
It had only the middle tall part, consisting of (what is now) the living room, dining room, front hall, and the 3 upstairs bedrooms, which I think were 2 bedrooms and a loft area at the time.No indoor plumbing..The two additions on either side were added on about 80 years ago and 40 years ago.. Alot of families tend to stay in this area and often they can remember or trace back who has lived where for many generations.
We’ve heard quite a few stories about who has lived in our house, or who was born here and what life was like.Some of those stories, I just don’t need to hear.. About 80 years ago, a family was living in the house.
At the time, it was fashionable for all the old farmhouses to add on big giant kitchens and the wife of the family wanted one too..
Her husband refused, as husbands do, but eventually she got her way.They kinda were, but then I’ve never met an apple that I didn’t love.. 2) Put the apples in your baking dish of choice (mine was a medium round casserole dish) and sprinkle them with about 1/2 teaspoon each of sugar and cinnamon.Stir it all around to coat.. 3)Next, make your topping!
Melt about a stick of butter.I just do that in the microwave.
In a medium-ish bowl, combine about a cup of oats, 3/4 cup of brown sugar and a tablespoon of cinnamon.If you feel like you need a little more topping, just sprinkle in some more oats, and add a bit more sugar, or not.
