APPLES TO MARKET The new Gravenstein apple crop is
rolling to market bringing this superbly flavored tart-sweet
green fruit for the making of many good things including
this apple crumb cake. Here we use quick-cooking tapioca,
a favorite thickener for berry and fruit pies.

Gravenstein Apples
Made Apple Pies Famous
It is green apple pie time
and there is rejoicing as Cal
ifornia harvests its crop of
superbly flavored, t a n g y J
spicy, juicy and aromatic
green Gravensteins. One
third of all the apples grown
commercially in California
are Gravensteins, practically
all of those sold in the United
States. Perhaps a third of
them are marketed fresh;
others go into apple sauce,
cider, juice; get processed for
bakery pies or are dried. ,
Said to be "the apple that
made apple pie famous," the
Gravenstein is an all-purpose
variety; good in pies, cakes,
dumplings, puddings, as well
as for crisp, crunchy, out-of-hand
eating. People who
make surveys say that home
bakers and commercial bak
ers bake a half billion apple
pies a year. Apple growers
declare this their favorite
recipe.
6-9 Gravenstein apples,
pared and sliced thin
?4 cup granulated or light
brown sugar, firmly
packed
W teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon cinnamon or
nutmeg or Va. teaspoon
each
J,i teaspoon grated lemon
rind
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
Pastry for 2-crust, 9-inch
. pie.
Line pie pan with pastry of
your choice, your own or one
of the easy mixes. Fill un
baked shell with sliced ap
ples. Combine sugar, salt,
spices and grated lemon rind.
. Sprinkle mixture over ap
ples, then sprinkle with lem
on juice and dot with butter.
Moisten edge of crust, cov
er with top crust and press
edges together. Brush crust
with milk or cream. Slash in
any design for steam-escaping.
Bake in hot oven, 425
degrees, 55 minutes or until
syrup boils with heavy bub
bles that do not burst.
Let pie come to table uncut
to show off its beauty and
warm for ultra enjoyment.
Cheddar cheese fingers or tri
angles on the side for finger
eating. Lots of coffee.
Apple Crumb Cake
Super Hot or Cold
Favorite with the family
Sravenstein apples, will be
ior the next few weeks of
this apple crumb cake, which
is super served warm or cold;
with cream if you like. Wte
use quick-cooking tapioca as
a thickener, mixing it right in
with the sugar and spices.
li cups sifted flour
i cup sugar
Dash of saltf
l-t cup soft butter
5 cups thinly sliced peeled
fresh Gravenstein ap
ples 2 tablespoons quick-cooking
tapioca
Vz cup sugar
34 teaspoon cinnamon
V teaspoon nutmeg
Combine flour, one-half cup
sugar, salt and butter mixing
well with pastry blender, fork
or fingers until crumbs are
formed. Measure three-fourths
cup of the crumbs and set
aside. Press remaining crumbs
into nine-inch spring form
pan, covering bottom and
about three-fourths inch up
on sides.
Mix apples, quick-cooking
tapioca, one-half cup sugar
and spices. Arrange in the
crumb shell. Bake in hot oven,
425 degrees, 20 minutes. Then
sprinkle with remaining flour
and sugar crumbs. Bake 20 to
25 minutes longer until
crumbs are golden brown.
Serve hot or cold.. Here too,
cheddar cheese alongside is
pretty wonderful.
Fuzziest Peaches. It is no
longer necessary to peel a
peach to eat it out of hand.
Simply wash and eat. Peach
growers have spent many
years developing cultural and
growing practices which have
ilmost done away with "peach
luzz".
Fresh Apple Sauce
In Favored Ways
The crisp white flesh of the
Gravenstein apple available
briefly, is about as sweet and
juicy as an apple can be.
Light and satisfying, freshly
made apple sauce can be
easily packed, when cooled, in
liquid-tight containers, labeled
and stored in the freezer for
future enjoyment.
Pare, quarter and core eight
Gravenstein apples. Add just
enough water, about one cup,
to steam fruit and prevent
scorching. Bring to a boil
and cook slowly, covered, 20
to 30 minutes or until apples
are tender. Add one-half cup
sugar and simmer until sugar
is. dissolved.
For smooth sauce, apples
may be used without paring,
Core and quarter apples,
cook until soft, then force
through sieve. Add sugar and
simmer to dissolve sugar.
Spicy Apple Sauce. Substi
tute five tablespoons brown
sugar for granulated sugar;
add one-fourth teasuoon mace,
dash of cinnamon and grated
lemon rind.
Cinnamon Apple Sauce,
Cook two tablespoons 'cinna
mon candies with smooth
sauce. For flavor fillip es
pecially provocative for serv
ing warm with ham, add a
bit of butter and chopped
ginger to apple sauce while
it is heating.
Easy Thickener for
Berry and Fruit Pies
The quality or consistency
of the filling is of prime im
portance in a fruit or berry
pie. Most fruits and berries
require a "thickener" if the
juice is not to spread out thin
ly over the plates when the
pie is cut.
Favorite thickener of many
is quick-cooking tapioca.-It is
thought best because it pro
tects the bright fruit color
(doesn't cloud as some thick
eners do). It adds no starchy
or floury taste. It is time
saving and easy to use.
No pre-cooking is necessary;
all you do is mix the quick
cooking tapioca with the
sugar and the fruit or berries
and pour the mixture into an
unbaked pie shell and bake as
usual. If recipe calls for an
other thickener, replace with
slightly less tapioca than is
indicated.
Salad Main Disb
Summer Satisfier
Cool, colorful and satisfying
main dish salads are popular
with west coasters the year
around; reach heighf of popu
larity in July and August.
Lettuce heads and Romaine
bunches are big and beautiful,
crisp and superb quality; low
priced too.
V. pound Swiss cheese cut
in strips,
It pound boiled ham or
v other luncheon meat,
cut in strips
3 hard-cooked eggs, quar
tered 6 radishes, sliced
3 tomatoes in eighths
. Vi cucumber, sliced
1 head lettuce, broken in
bitesize
J4 cup chopped celery
Combine all ingredients.
Add enough of your favor
ite salad dressing to coat let
tuce leaves; toss gently. A su
perb dressing preferred by
many combines mayonnaise
and sour cream with a dash
of Worcestershire sauce, gen
erous squeeze of lemon juice,
freshly ground black pepper.

it attracts his attention, holds
his attention because the ex
hibit is interesting and gives
him a lasting impression be
cause the message is convinc
ing. When planning a booth the
committee should decide who
will see the booth, city or
mostly rural people. The com
mittee should decide also
what the booth should tell the
people and the message should
be limited to one subject
dairy for instance.
What should this message
be? "Drink more milk for
health?" Such a message
might be carried by a large
picture of a healthy boy being
examined by his doctor. In
front of this might be ar
ranged dairy products with a
tag on each showing the vari
ous vitamins in each dairy
food."
Next step is to sketch a
plan. Such a plan would show
the booth dimensions, a list of
materials to be displayed, art
services needed and a check
to make sure the plan will fit
the budget.
Should Have Center
The design should start with
a center of interest. This cen
ter of interest should be
placed in a prominent posi
tion, be much larger or much
smaller than other objects, in
contrasting color to other ob
jects, in motion or unique or
out of the ordinary.
Authors of the pamphlet
suggest that the booth com
mittee stick to one idea for
unity of purpose. Choose ob
jects' to display that go well
together colorwise and in
size and shape.
Also, keep it simple. The
less in the booth, the more
likely the central message of
the booth will be carried, the
pamphlet authors urge. In
other words, if the story of
dairying can be told without
showing the trophies won by
a 4-H dairy club leave them
out.
Finally, a color scheme for
the booth should be of colors
that go together and are ap
propriate to the subject. Dark,
rich colors are suggested for
industry, light, feminine col
ors for bomemaking subjects;
yellows, greens and browns
for most agricultural subjects.
Some colors are warm, ag
gressive, stimulating, yellow,
orange and red. Other colors
are cool violet, blue and
green.
For building a booth wood
and wood products provide
the basic structure. Plywood,
for instance, is light weight,
easily cut, best for covering
MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, August 7, 1958 3A
large surfaces, and easily
painted. Upson board is more
versatile than plywood, soft
enough for thumb tacks and
can be bent around corners
for curved surfaces.
