I've made this recipe for years. It was originally in a McCall's Cookbook from 1963. It is a fabulous recipe that I fall back on often.

I used to make this recipe all the time in the 1960's and had forgotten all about it. Thanks for posting it.<br/><br/>It is the absolutely best apple cobbler ever! (BTW, 5 cups of apples is the amount in my cookbook)
