 Sally (Nebraska) says:
This is excellent made with Italian prune plums. Buy lots of plums when they are in a season in late August, dice and freeze them, because they're FABULOUS substituted for the apples.

This is the very first recipe I ever made, at age 9, with a real oven, after graduating from the Easy Bake Oven, powered by a light bulb!% :) And it is one of about three recipes I have made most often. Such a crowd pleaser! I'm much prefer this apple crisp to any apple pie or apple crisp anywhere! My recipe is on a recipe card, typed 50 years ago with a typewriter from the 1940s for 1950s. They fractions are now especially hard to read, and the "a's" look like "e's." So nice to find this same recipe reprinted so much more legibly. I didn't realize other people had the same 4-H recipe. So happy to know that!
