My wife & I had received a Camp Chef cast iron cook set 2-3 years ago. We seasoned all the pieces but never used the dutch oven. I dug it out yesterday and cleaned it up & reseasoned it.

So for Mothers Day I made the wife an apple crisp.

It may not look very good but it smells & tastes awesome. :banana:

I found it on the internet.

I would cut back on the butter next time maybe a little. I had to put it in the oven under the broiler to get the crust to crisp up.

Hey, I'm sure it tasted good. But Tom...

You think THAT photo looks like something delicious to eat?

You gotta send me your monitor color settings so I can see just what the heck YOU'RE seeing.

The only camera I have is my Sony Digital Video Camera. It does not take the best picture.

Ready to bake a 16"er... Notice the 1" dough lip extending up the side of oven wall.
(Makes for a great retainer for lots of ingredients)

Image
Baking away... Notice anything not right???

Image
Looks good...

Image
A sprinkling of fresh 10 month aged pamesan and it's time to eat.

Two things...
1. It was good, but couldn't hardly taste the meat. (More meat next time... about 3 lbs. more)
2. I'm pissed that I didn't notice the crack in the lid before I used it.
