It is AUTUMN!
Apple season is in full swing & my daughter, C, has requested my apple crisp recipe.
I must give proper recognition to Sister C. Thompson for giving me this recipe!
For years I made the standard apple crisp recipe with brown sugar & oatmeal. It was good, but neither of my daughters really liked the taste/texture, until they tried this recipe! They were hooked!
Apple Crisp (oatmeal free)
What you need:
For the filling:
- 5-6 smallish, apples, firm, tart variety (I've used 3-6 different varieties in 1 recipe!)
- 1 cup of white granulated sugar (you can use less sugar or even a mixture of white & brown)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For the crisp:
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup white flour (this is NOT a healthy recipe so no need for healthy flour!)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 1/2 sticks melted salted butter (REAL BUTTER! Tho you can use a bit less)
- chopped walnuts (optional)
What you do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
For the filling:
- Peel & core the apples.
- Thinly slice the apples, keeping pieces as close to uniformity as possible.
- Add the sugar & cinnamon, mix well
- Pour mixture into a 9"pie pan or 8"x8" square pan (Use disposable ones for easy clean-up)
For the crust:
- Combine all ingredients & mix well
- Spread over the apple mixture in the pan
- Bake @ 350 for about 45 minutes or until the apples are soft & crust is crispy.
- Enjoy it warm, with some vanilla ice cream!
