Apple Crisp With a Berry Twist


There is something about


fall, with its cooler days and the abundance of juicy apples, that brings out the baker in us all. Brisk breezes and rustling leaves almost seem to whisper “apple crisp.”

the apples. If your children are skilled at using a veg- etable peeler, make peeling the apples a game. Start at the stem, and peel in a spiral motion. Try to make the lon- gest strip without breaking it. If your kids are competi- tive, they’ll have the apples peeled in no time! 2. Cut peeled apples into 1/4-inch slices. For a sur- prise, cut an apple in half widthwise to reveal star design in the middle. Place slices in a large bowl. Add slightly thawed blackber- ries, sugar, flour and lemon

Wading through the myriad offers and trying to decide which are on the level is asking for trouble. When you sign up, you’re likely to be asked for your name, address, email address and bank account informa- tion for “instant” receipt of your pay via wire transfer. That’s too much informa- tion for a company you don’t know. You also may be asked to pay a fee to sign up, or for “certification.” Barring that, chances are

that the only “shopping” you’ll be asked to do will involve receiving checks in the mail with instructions to take out your fee and send them the balance of the money by MoneyGram. The check will end up being no good, and you’ll be out the money you wired to them. If someone offers to pay a ridiculous amount of mon- ey to a stranger for a mini- mal amount of work, think “scam.” One inventive scam involves offers to pay people to put advertising signs on their cars and drive

You don’t have to answer any questions, such as about the number of miles you drive or where you drive. A legiti- mate advertiser would want to know where his ads would be seen. Your payment will be in the form of a check, which you are instructed to cash, take out your fee, and send the balance by Western Union back to the company. Do you see a pattern here? Another scam can reach

The Federal Trade Commission has investigated numer- ous complaints involving high-pressure sales tactics, shoddy merchandise and more. The warning signs: Someone (likely part of a roving team) comes to your door, impersonating a repre- sentative of the monitoring company you already use. You’re told your old system is deficient in some way, and that the new equipment itself is free if you’ll just sign a contract.
