The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

4 C sliced apples
1 TB lemon juice
1/3 C flour
1 C oats
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 C melted butter

Place apples in a shallow greased baking dish.  Sprinkle with lemon juice.  Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl.  Add melted butter and mix until crumbly.  Sprinkle over apples.  Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

Your Great Grandma Durst was an amazing cook.  She made the most delicious food.  She could cook, bake, can... you name it, she could do it.  She is famous for her flakey pie crusts and incredible pickles.  I wish we lived closer so you could get to know her better.  She and Grandpa Durst were married when she was 16 and Grandpa was 17 years old.  They were married for 76 years before Grandpa passed away in 2011.  We have been given an incredible legacy of faithfulness from both Grandpa & Grandma Durst and PePaw & Gran Gran.
Love Always,
Mommy
