When the apples come in, the first thing I make is apple crisp. It's not fancy. It's the kind of dessert you stir up in one bowl and eat warm, right off a paper plate. π
You'll need:
6 apples, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the apples
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut in pieces
Here's how:
Heat the oven to 350. Toss the apples with the lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon, and spread them in a buttered baking dish. In a big bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Work the butter in with your fingers until it's crumbly. Sprinkle it over the apples and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until it's bubbly and golden.
Let it sit 10 minutes if you can wait that long. A scoop of vanilla ice cream doesn't hurt either. π¦
The children always want to help with the crumble part, and there's always more on the counter than in the bowl. That's how you know it's a good day.
