The Fruit Of Our Labor ~ Apple Crisp!














This past Monday my husband and I went to a mountain orchard to get apples.  It was a great day trip.  Not only did we get apples, but we saw some beautiful scenery, had some delicious food, and best of all, spent some quality time together.  We brought back enough apples to share with family and friends, leaving us plenty to cook with and snack on!

Instead of sharing my apple pie recipe, I am going to share another great apple recipe.  An apple crisp is an alternative to a pie or tart.  For this recipe, I used gala apples.  Honey crisp apples are also a good choice.  These flavorful apples cook well but don't get mushy.  I serve my crisp warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  Enjoy!

You Will Need:

3 Medium sized apples
1 T. Brown sugar
1/2 Tsp. Cinnamon

Topping Mix:

1 C. Brown sugar
1 C. Quick oats
1/2 C. Flour
1/2 C. Butter (softened)
1/2 C. Tsp. Cinnamon

Instructions


Preheat oven to 350F.  Peel and cut apples into thin slices.  Place into a 1-2 qt. baking or casserole dish.  Combine 1T. brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and sprinkle over apples, coating them evenly.

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining brown sugar, oats, flour and cinnamon.
Cut butter into the dry ingredients until a crumbly mixture forms.  Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples.

Bake 35 minutes or until golden brown.
