my apple crisp recipe

Apple crisp

A few weeks ago I bought some apples, they were demolished in days. Yeah, an apple a day keeps the doctor away;-). I was delighted my kids were eating something healthy. I figured ild buy more apples. Yup, they sat in the refrigerator about a week. The bag hadn't even been opened. I had an incredible awesome idea,( every so often that happens) I would make apple crisp.

     Here is my recipe, but once again I don't measure very well. I know how, I just choose not too. I'm a rebel like that.

• 9 delicious apples I had delicious so that's what I used) peeled and cord them, I cut them into quarters, then cut the quarters into quarters.
•  I placed the apples in a bowl I had put about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in
•  I added about 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• I also added about 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, WHY? Because as I was digging out the brown sugar I noticed the vanilla had just a tad bit left in the bottle, so why not use it up

• I mixed it all up and dumped it in a 9 by 13 spray oiled pan

Now for my favorite part, THE CRISP!!!!

•  1 cup oats
• 1/6 cup stevia
•  2 tablespoons flax seed ( shh don't tell anyone, I'm try to make it a little healthy)
• 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
• a dash or 2, or 5 of cinnamon
•  1 stick of cut up butter
• I mashed this all together, I started out using a fork, but decided my clean hand would get the job done faster

• I mixed in a finely chopped cup of walnuts
•  crumbled my crisp on top of the apples
• pop it into a 375 degree oven for about 45-60 min

And ta-da, apple crisp is done

Top with whipped cream, or ice cream and enjoy.

 

   Now it feels like fall.

     As I was peeling, and cutting, the apples I was thinking of making apple pie, apple crisp, apple sauce, apple everything, at my cousin's house in NY. I miss that. I miss apple picking too. NOW GO MAKE SOME APPLE CRISP and let me know how it turned out.
