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.
