Many delicious fall recipes call for apples. But some apples are better for snacking (raw) than for baking.

Try some Heavenly Apple Crumble made with Heavenly Jam Bar Mix from the Three Angels Gourmet Co.
HEAVENLY APPLE CRUMBLE
3 medium apples (any kind for baking)
1/2 tsp. powdered cinnamon
1/3 c. water
1 stick butter
1 pkg. Heavenly Jam Bar Mix
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and core apples. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and set them aside. Spray an 8"x8" baking pan with cooking spray, then line the bottom of the pan with the apple pieces. Pour the water into the pan with the apples, then sprinkle the apples with the cinnamon. Put 1 stick of butter in a microwave safe mixing bowl. Melt the butter in the microwave, then pour the jam bar mix into the melted butter and mix together well (this will make a crumbly mixture). Pour the crumbly mixture over the apples in the baking pan and pat down. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes (or until crumbly mixture is brown around the edges and apples are soft).
Serve the crumble topped with vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream, if desired.
