Ever since I was a kid, crisps have been one of my favourite desserts. So, when I started cooking, I decided I wanted to learn how to make my own! My first crisp was so runny it was like soup! But I practiced and practiced until I came up with my own, delicious recipe. I usually make this without any formal recipe, so the measurements aren't exact... Enjoy! Ingredients:
3 -4 apples |
cinnamon |
nutmeg |
ginger |
allspice |
lemon juice |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/2 cup butter |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1 cup oatmeal |
1/2 cup flour |
Directions:
1. preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. peel and then slice apples into thin slices. fill your favourite pan until it's about 1/2 an inch from the top. i usually use 3-4 apples for a small glass loaf pan.
3. make sure to toss apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
4. when all the apples have been cut, toss the slices with enough cinnamon to lightly coat. add a little less ginger, and then a little less nutmeg and allspice, if desired. sometimes i leave out the allspice.
5. next, make the crumble topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, and oatmeal in a bowl. add cinnamon and ginger to the topping.
6. melt the butter in the microwave and then mix with the dry ingredients. you might need a little more butter; i use enough to make sure that the topping is saturated and sticks together.
7. before adding the topping, mix in the cornstarch with the apples. this prevents the crisp from becoming runny. make sure it's well mixed inches.
8. lastly, add the topping to the apples. make sure that no apples are showing.
9. bake in the oven for about 30-45 minutes or until bubbling and the topping is browned.
10. i eat this plain, but it can be good with ice cream, whipped cream, or even chocolate sauce.
