A sweet apple crisp recipe - it even sounds like autumn.
Although apple crisp or apple crumble is a perfect dessert recipe for fall, when a wide variety of apples are fresh and at their peak, this recipe can easily be made and enjoyed year round.
See below the recipe for information about the types of apples to use in this recipe.
Prep time:
Cook time:
Ingredients: 4 to 5 medium cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced 3 to 4 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon dash salt
Crisp Topping: 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/3 cup butter (or margarine) 1/4 cup oats 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Directions: Mix apples with sugar, cinnamon and a touch of salt. Place sliced apples in 8 inch square non-stick baking pan or pan sprayed with cooking spray.
For the topping, in a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cinnamon, oats and walnuts. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or cross cutting with 2 knives, until you have coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping over the apples.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until apples are tender and crumbs are golden. Serve warm or cold with a dollop of whipped topping or ice cream.
Here's a suggestions to top it off:
Mix together 1 cup of whipped topping and 1 tablespoon of thawed orange juice concentrate. Add a dollop to the top of each serving.
Makes 6 servings
Tips and Variations:
I am not a nutmeg lover. You can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon with 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg if you wish. I just love the cinnamon/apple combination myself.
Add 1/3 cup prepared frozen orange juice to the apple mixture for a bit of a twist. If you do this, add a few tablespoons of flour to the apples.

Did You Know?...
The type of apple you use is up to you.
Obviously you need a cooking apple, but different regions offer different apples so there is usually a wide range of varieties to choose from wherever you live.
I like an apple that breaks down a bit and gets nice and soft. Others prefer a firmer apple that holds its shape during cooking.
Use whatever cooking apple you prefer. Remember, you may need to adjust the amount of sugar you use to account for the amount of sweetness in your particular apples. If your apples are particularly tart, just add a bit more sugar.
