Ancestor Hunt - Granny Bishop's Apple Crisp

I hit the jackpot!

I found ancestors and a recipe while I was online searching for ancestors tonight.  I found a web page full of information and an e-book of ancestors which includes my own mother.  How cool is that?

I was searching online, picking through the hyper-links, when I came across is a recipe that I recognized from childhood.  It was one my mother used to make all the time.

The following apple crisp recipe can be adapted for lower sugar / carb count by substituting the brown sugar in the recipe with the artificially sweetened brown sugar substitute.

Anyway, I am pleased and excited about finding a branch of the family which brings me further back in the history of my mother's side of my family tree.  I am also looking forward to making Granny Bishop's Apple Crisp Recipe tomorrow!

Thanks to Granny Bishop and the Noggins Corner Farm Market, Nova Scotia Canada.  The Farm is owned and operated by the Bishop Family - My grandmother was Nancy Bishop of Springhill NS.
