Your 1927 American kitchen looks only slightly smaller than my 2001 Japanese kitchen but it probably has more storage space. I know that many American houses have huge kitchens, at least compared to Japan. Have people ever commented on the narrow space where you cook?

Great recipe, Jolene. 😘

Is it me, or is this lovely recipe begging to be messed around with? I’m sure it’s wonderful—and looks delicious!—but does it want a handful of oats or chopped nuts? Makes me want to riff.

This looks very doable! If only the one person I live with would help me eat it... :) My mom makes an apple cranberry crumble for Thanksgiving that I love. She bakes it in a big white pan that's shaped like an apple.

I loved this post, Jolene!!!! Your kitty is so sweet and the kitchen is gorgeous--yes, the lemon wallpaper, your galley kitchen with the 1920's details and the story of the cook book is so interesting and yes, I feel as if I'm time-traveling (with delicious food!) I am going to make the Apple Crisp for my Dad! Love, Jamie P.S. I noticed a familiar looking tea towel in the background! ;)

What a beautiful post, Jolene! I felt like I was inside your kitchen--and I really wished I were. It's also a perfect illustration for the title of your blog. Perhaps it even inspired it? Apple crisp is just the thing to make in that kitchen too--homey, old-fashioned, all-American. And the cat looked right at home! Kudos on another great edition!💕
