One year ago today I made y’all an apple crisp the likes of which would make your heart melt in fall weather satisfaction. And, well, since our refrigerator was empty last night and we didn’t feel like cooking anything I decided that it’s OK to live life and share this again. Because let’s face it: ain’t no thang in the world better than an apple crisp that makes your heart melt!
FOR THE APPLES:
- 2 apples (I used red delicious, but Granny Smith would be great!)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
FOR THE CRISP
- 1.5 cups oatmeal
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 stick butter, melted
So, as you can see above, I peeled the apples. I normally don’t do that but I find the skin on Red Delicious to be tougher than most, so I peeled it this time. Chop the apples into 1/2 inch pieces. Also preheat your over to 350.
Lemon juice that sucker, and then stir it all together. Pour into a greased (I used nonstick spray) 8 x 8 pan. Rinse and towel dry the bowl…fewer dishes to really wash because I’m lazy like that.
In the bowl combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble topping.
Pour in the melted butter. Have I mentioned yet that I love butter?
Stir together and then crumble on top of the apples. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
The result is tender apples that still have great texture and a buttery, amazing crumble topping. My only regret is that I didn’t have any ice cream to top this with!
Now, I’m really going to try to stop using butter this next week. You know, just to see if I can make it.
Oh YUM! This looks so good! Do you think I could substitute anything for the flour? Corn starch maybe?
is this just for one serving? i’d love to make this for a family dessert!
This looks so lovely, and an awesome way to welcome in the new season 🙂
This looks fantastic. So perfect for a late-night dessert!
I can’t wait to try this! Looks so good!
