Here’s a timely and delicious apple recipe from Georgia Holman, whose farm family legacy goes back several generations on the Old Mission Peninsula. Read more about that here.
Georgia’s grandson is Cory Holman, who you may know from Cory Holman’s Pumpkin Patch, which he runs with his wife Elise (and their dog Koni). The pumpkin patch is now open, by the way, so swing by and stock up on pumpkins, gourds, squash, and other fall produce (12926 Center Road).

In the photo at the top of this story, that’s Georgia on the left. I took that last year during the “gathering of the pumpkins.” Below are a couple photos I took a few days ago. Check out their cute little shed – Georgia was busy painting it when I stopped by.
Cory and Elise (and Koni) are also the new owners of Garden Goods in Traverse City! Read my interview with them here. Here they are with Koni, and below, with Georgia.
Apple season is in full force on the Old Mission Peninsula right now, so you can find a wide variety of apples at most of the farm stands out here (click here for a list). Georgia says this recipe works great with apples, as well as other fruits, like cherries, peaches and rhubarb.
Georgia Holman’s Apple Crisp
Part 1:
3 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 scant cup sugar
3 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
Mix above ingredients and place in a lightly greased 9 x 9 baking pan.
Part 2:
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 egg, whisked
Mix sugar, flour and baking powder. Add egg and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over apple mixture.
Part 3:
1/4 cup melted butter
Pour over top and sprinkle with more cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve warm or cold with ice cream.
This topping is also good over sweetened, thickened cherries, peaches, rhubarb, etc.
SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
