Apple Crisp my way. When I was young, my mother always used an oatmeal crumble topping on Apple Crisp. Unfortunately, I am allergic to oatmeal so this is my way of preparing an all time favourite. Ingredients:
6 apples, peeled, cored and sliced |
note: for something a little different use 4 apples and 2 firm pears. |
2 tbsp. lemon juice |
1/4 tsp. lemon zest, grated |
2 tbsp. water or 2 tbsp. apple juice |
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed |
1-1/4 tsp. cinnamon |
1/4 tsp. nutmeg |
2 tbsp. cornstarch |
1 cup flour |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 tsp. salt |
1/4 cup butter |
note: i have sometimes added a handful of dried cherries or cranberries. this really kicks up the traditional apple crisp. |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, mix apples, juice, zest and water.
2. Pour into a lightly greased baking dish.
3. In small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg
4. and cornstarch and sprinkle over apples.
5. In mixing bowl sift together flour, sugar and salt.
6. Cut butter into mixture until it is of cornmeal-like consistency.
7. Sprinkle over apples.
8. Bake at 400 degrees until done, about 45 minutes.
9. Serves 8-10
10. *Zest is the coloured part of citrus peel with none of
11. the white membrane, which is bitter.
