Carters Apple Crumble!

This week I wanted to make something with apples for Mini Chef Mondays.  I bought a giant bag of apples at Lidl and I was getting a little worried we wouldnt be able to finish them all in time, so I grabbed 3 apples and called Carter into the kitchen to get cooking!  We made this easy and yummy apple crisp and served it with vanilla ice cream for dessert!

Easy Apple Crisp Yum

For the apples:

• 3 large or 4 medium apples
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• a squirt of lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp (or more) of cinnamon*
• 1 tablespoon flour

* I really like cinnamon, so I always use a little extra!

Adult step: Peel, core and slice the apples. Preheat the oven to 375F.


Mix together apples, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and 1 tablespoon flour.


Spread the apple mixture evenly into a pie pan or other similar sized baking pan (a square pan works, too!).


Mix together the topping ingredients, except the butter. Be sure to mix well so the brown sugar and flour is evenly dispersed.


Spread the topping mixture over the apples.  You can let your kids help with this step, using clean hands to spread the mixture!  Then, cut the butter into small squares and spread them evenly over the oats mixture.  In this picture I didnt cut them small enough so the butter didnt spread throughout!

Alternately, you could cut the butter into the topping using a pastry cutter and then spread the mixture over the apples all together.  You must have very cold butter to do this.

Bake for 30 - 35 minutes in preheated oven.


Slice up and serve with vanilla ice cream! Enjoy!

Lovely photos of the horrible New York garbage strike of 1911

New York street cleaners and garbage workers (sometimes referred to as ashcart men) went on strike on November 8, 1911, over 2,000 men walking off their jobs in protest over staffing and work conditions.

More importantly, that April, the city relegated garbage pickup to nighttime shifts only, and cleaners often worked solo. This may have been acceptable in warmer weather, but winter was approaching. At a union rally that evening, a union representative proclaimed, "A 200-pound can was a mighty big load for one man to lift into a garbage wagon ....... [Our] men are already falling ill with pneumonia and rheumatism and ... they demanded the right to work in the sunlight and the warmer weather of the daytime."



In total, almost over 2,000 workers left their jobs in retaliation, "because they didnt like to work in the dark," said the New York Sun, derisively. [source]

By Nov. 11, garbage was heaped along street corners, and coal ash swirled into the street, creating a blackened, smelly stew along the cobblestones. The city brought in temporary workers to carry off the more egregious piles of filth away, but harangues and violence by union protesters --"mobs assaulting and stoning drivers" -- required they be protected by police.



New Yorkers had lived through such a strike before, as recently as 1907, but strikers found little public support this time around. Newspapers, little sympathetic to the strikers, highlighted the growing threat of disease and the perceived selfishness of the workers. "The right to strike of public employees, who enjoy the advantage of being listed in the civil service, is more than doubtful," said the New York Times.

During bouts between strikebreakers and police, over two dozen people were injured and one man was even killed by a falling chimney. Meanwhile, Mayor William Jay Gaynor was resolute in rejecting the cleaners demands. The efforts of the workers failed, and many went back to their jobs the next week, some heavily penalized for their participation in the strike.

Here are a few images from those foul-smelling days. These photographs are far more pleasant to look at than they must have been to shoot!
