Since I am still a bit under the weather with my cold I thought I would share this great recipe. Have a wonderful Monday!
Apple Crisp
8 large baking apples (MacIntosh or Cortland or both)
½ cup butter chopped into tiny pieces
½ cup Oats
½ cup flour
½ cup sugar (I used Splenda)
1/3 cup brown sugar (I used Splenda Brown Sugar)
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. Nutmeg
¼ tsp. Ground Cloves
Peel and cut apples into slices. Place in a greased (butter or Pam sprayed) deep 9 X 11 casserole dish.
TIP: I cut up the cold butter into chunks and placed the hard butter into my food processor. I pulsed it a few times, then added the flour and pulsed a few times until it was crumbly. This was the easiest way to make this butter and flour into a crumb mixture.
In a separate bowl place the butter and flour crumb mixture to the oats.
Add sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves and mix well.
Spread evenly over the top of the apples allowing some of the mixture to settle into the apples. I sort of gently push it into the apples.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes or until you see bubbles coming up from the apples. The butter will melt and the crumb mixture should be nice and brown on the top.
Cool slightly, serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream….
