Apple Crisp is one of my favorite fall desserts. I know you can get apples year round but it is such a comfort food when the air chills. I’m not one that will just pick up an apple and eat it. But add some butter, cinnamon, sugar, etc. and you have some of my favorite desserts. Fried apples, apple twists, apple crisp – and of course apple pie (I’ll work on that one for another post) – YUM. And of course I cooked this in my stoneware baker, because nothing cooks like stoneware.
I have posted another apple crisp, but this one it the traditional type with the oatmeal topping. I also love to add chopped pecans to my topping even though this recipe doesn’t call for them. And I didn’t use them this time because I was out of them.
Old-Fashioned Apple Crisp
4 cups sliced peeled tart apples (about 3 medium)
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Topping:
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 t ground cinnamon
1 stick cold butter or margarine
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Place apples in a greased 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the apples then toss to coat. I also drizzle a bit of water over the apples because I like mine to be a bit jucier. If you want to have just the natural juice that the apples product you can skip the water.
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Add chopped nuts if desired. Sprinkle over apples. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm with ice cream if desired.
Thanks everyone. I love apple pie but am not really a baker. This apple crisp is so easy to make. Great comfort dessert.
