Who We Are



The past few years, the area where I live, Crawford County, Ohio, has seen a wonderful explosion of younger families who are embracing the joys and challenges of living off the land. Because of them, amazing things are happening which have been embraced by our community. Farmer’s markets have been created and on-farm stores have opened. Families dedicated to growing organic produce and naturally raised meats are meeting the public’s needs for locally raised foods. And at the heart of this movement are the women.



Ohio Country Journal is my attempt to share the essence of farm life, focusing on, but not limited to, women. My goal is to bring you into our circle of friendship by inviting you to share your stories and experiences with us. You don’t have to be a full time country woman to benefit from joining us; you just have to be you.





The full-time country women featured in Ohio Country Journal are an inspiration to anyone who dares to follow her dreams, whether it is to live in the country or to bring the country life-style to their urban neighborhoods.

Noel's Dutch Apple Pie

Noel is back this week with a yummy recipe for Dutch Apple Pie.
 
Doesn't her picture just make you want to pour a glass of milk and/or get out the vanilla ice cream for a yummy snack?

Since the holiday season is approaching, I thought I’d start getting in the spirit by making an apple pie this week. The prep time is only about ten minutes, so you can have a hot apple pie in about an hour.

 I like Dutch Apple Pie with the crumb topping, probably because it seems like a special treat with the sweet crumbly top coating instead of a pastry crust.

Dutch Apple Pie

Ingredients:

1  pie crust for 9 inch pan

 4 apples
1 tsp cinnamon
½ cup sugar
2 TB flour
½ cup raisins
Topping:
1/3 cup flour
8 TB butter
½ cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon


Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place pie crust in the bottom of 9 inch pie pan. Peel and slice apples into a small bowl. Add raisins. Mix 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ cup sugar and 2 TB flour and toss with apples and raisins. Pour apple mixture in pie crust. To make the topping, melt the butter and mix in the flour, sugar and cinnamon. Stir until small lumps form. Sprinkle over apple mixture. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55 minutes.
