Apple Crisp Recipe

27 Apr

On Easter, hubby and I made our special apple crisp. Now, while I wouldn’t call it healthy (considering the carb and fat content) there is nothing unhealthy in it. I thought I might share the recipe with anyone who wants to make a less processed but still delectable dessert. This is our go-to for Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving. Served with Cosmic Bliss vanilla ice cream.

C.C.’S APPLE CRISP

and we didn’t burn down the kitchen!

INGREDIENTS

5 Fuji or Honeycrisp apples

2/3 cup ground oats

2/3 cup quick oats (not ground)

2/3 cup GF flour (I use King Arthur)

1/2 – 1 TBSP of cinnamon (divided)

1/4 – 1/2 tsp of salt (divided)

3/4 cup of maple sugar (not syrup) or coconut sugar (divided)

12 TBSP butter (divided)

PREPARATION

  1. Slice apples and place in a deep baking dish (sprinkle with extra cinnamon and sugar, if you want, but I think Fuji apples are sweet enough)
  2. Grind up oats and put in a bowl with 1/2 the allotted gluten free flour, 1/2 the allotted coconut sugar, 1/2 the salt, and 1/2 the amount of cinnamon.
  3. Place the quick oats in a separate bowl the remaining flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Melt the butter and divide it between the oat mixtures. They should be saturated.
  5. Top the apples with the ground oats mixture first, then add the quick oats mixture. The dish should be heaping.

BAKING

Temperature: 350
Bake time: 45 minutes
Serves: 4

Cover with foil for the first 30 minutes *this will keep the oats from burning, but it will also keep the topping from getting too hard*

Remove foil and allow to crisp for 15 more minutes. *you can let it bake longer if you want it crisper, but it’s best if you take it out when there’s still some liquid in the bottom of the dish*

Allow to cool before cutting in.
Serve with tasty ice cream.

And that’s all there is to it! Some people like to create sort of a sweet gel around the apples by mixing them in sugar and tapioca starch before putting them in the bottom of the dish. If you prefer that texture to just cooked apples, go for it! I keep this recipe simple because I like minimal ingredients. I hope you love it!
