Apple Crisp Recipe

My favorite dessert in the fall is apple pie. I know many people love pumpkin pie, but not me! Every fall we go to a nearby church to buy apple pie. However, this year we were so busy that we did not get the chance. So I decided to make my own pie.  I am not a fan of store-bought apple pies. I just don’t think they taste as good as homemade ones.

Today, I am going to share my apple crisp recipe with you. I know what you’re thinking. I thought you said you like pie? Lol. Well, I took the apple pie recipe because I love the cinnamon/sugar sauce mix with the apples. But since hubby requested apple crisp, I substituted crumb topping for the crust. 

If you’d prefer a pie, just use a crust instead. Let’s get started.

 

Filling

Ingredients:

• ¼ stick unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons flour
• ½ white sugar
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup water
• 8 any baking apples – peeled, cored and sliced
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In the sauce pan, melt in butter and stir in flour to form a paste. Add the sugars and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg and lemon juice. Mix mixture over apples and toss until evenly coated.
4. Put apples in a 10-inch baking dish. Add the sugar and butter mixture on top of the apples.

Topping

Ingredients:

• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup cold butter
• ¾ cup flour
• ¾ cup quick-cooking rolled oats
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle topping evenly over apples. Bake 50-55 minutes or until top is golden brown. This is best served with vanilla ice cream. 🙂
