Apple Crisp Therapy
I haven’t made apple crisp in a long time and the kids don’t seem to be eating up the apples so I thought I would make it tonight.
This is the first time that I have used this apple corer thing but it did speed things up. We bought it from the Pampered Chef but I imagine you could find it just about anywhere.
I base the recipe on the fruit crisp in the Joy of Cooking, which is my favorite cookbook. I’m not crazy about oatmeal so this doesn’t have any. If you wanted a smaller batch, just cut everything in half. I have a full house here so usually go bigger.
Apple Crisp
- 8 or 9 apples (mine were very small)
- 2 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 cup of brown sugar (I use white when I don’t have brown and it still tastes good)
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 half cup of butter
After you cut and peel the apples, toss with the lemon juice and line them in a pan. Then combine the flour, cinnamon, butter and sugar.
Crumble them together in a bowl with your fingers until it’s mixed together but still has small lumps. Spread this mixture on top of the apples and bake at 350 Fahrenheit for at least 30 minutes. Mine usually takes 45 minutes but my oven isn’t the hottest.
Apple Crisp is comforting, delicious with ice-cream and it never fails to cheer me up. I made a big pan of it once for Thanksgiving instead of pie and everyone loved it.
