Apple Crisp
Ingredients:
Filling:
-4 cups apples
-1/2 c. sugar
-1/2 T all-purpose flour
-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Topping:
-1 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
-1 c. all-purpose flour
-1 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
-1/4 tsp. baking powder
-1/4 tsp. baking soda
-1/2 c. butter, melted
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-Peel, core, & slice the apples. I have an apple corer that slices the apples. I cut off any hard pieces that are left, then cut each slice in half lengthwise. Then, I cut these thinner slices in half across the width so that they're more bite-sized.
-Spray the bottom & sides of an 8"x11" baking dish with cooking spray. (If you want to use a 9"x13" dish, use the original recipe, although you might have to tweak the topping portion if you still want a lot of topping.)
-Lay the apples down, side by side, on their bottoms rather than their sides. You can fit more in this way.
-In a large bowl, combine the sugar, all-purpose flour, & cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apples.
-Using the same mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, & baking soda. Stir in the melted butter until crumbs form.
-Pour out the topping onto the apples, completely covering them.
-Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.
Michael likes to eat his apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. I feel like that takes away from the flavor of the apples & topping, so I eat mine as is. We each think our way is the best. . .how about y'all?
