How to Make Apple Crisp

I love this recipe!

Simple.  Easy.  And smells like "home".

(The best part of this recipe is sneaking a small piece of crisp topping.

So delicious!  And no one will notice a tiny piece missing.

Right?)

I had some apples that needed to be used up and I thought of this recipe.

It is a great recipe for the Fall.

And there's a good chance you already have all the ingredients on hand too.

Win-win! *wink*

All you need are oats, flour, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and (of course) apples!  This works with all kinds of apples.  I like Royal Gala's the most.  MacIntosh apples may not work well with this recipe.  I have found in the past they get very mushy when cooked.

I have also included a butter substitute in the ingredients list if needed.  The cost of butter recently went up a whole dollar a pound in my neck of the woods.  A dollar!  So now I only buy it when it's on sale.  Great news:  butter freezes really well!  But when there hasn't been a sale that means that, sometimes, I need to do without.

So without further ado, the recipe....

 

Ingredients

1 tsp Cinnamon

2 Tbsp Brown Sugar

5 whole Apples, peeled and sliced (this is flexible.  More can be added if desired)

1 cup Oats

1/2 cup Flour

sprinkling of Salt (can be omitted)

1/4 cup Brown Sugar

1/3 cup Butter, melted (Substitute: 3 Tbsp milk and 2 Tbsp oil)

How To

1. In a medium oven-proof bowl combine the cinnamon and sugar.  As you peel and slice the apples coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.  This will prevent the apples from browning.  Set aside.

2. In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients.  Mix until resembles coarse meal.  Spoon crumble over cinnamon sugar apples.  Press crumble down firmly. (Some bits of apple may poke through.  Don't worry about those.  It will still be delicious!)

3. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.

My family loves eating apple crisp!

And I know you'll love it too!!
