How to Make Apple Crisp - An Apple Crisp Recipe

An apple crisp recipe is a must in every cookbook. Apple crisp is the perfect dessert for any time of the year, but especially for the colder months. It is a classic dessert and welcomed at most any party or family get together. Top apple crisp with whipped cream or ice cream or eat it warm from the oven with no toppings at all. No matter how you enjoy it, this apple crisp recipe will come to mind again and again. Enjoy!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Oven
• Shortening (to grease the baking pan)
• Mixing bowl
• 8-inch square baking dish
• 4 medium tart cooking apples (suggestions include Granny Smith, Rome, Greening, or Honeycrisp) to equal 4 cups of sliced apples
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
• ½ cup all-purpose or self-rising flour
• ½ cup oats - quick cooking or old-fashioned
• 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
• ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Ice cream, whipped cream, or cream to top (optional)

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. 
    

   Wash, peel, and slice your apples.

3. Grease the bottom and the sides of your baking dish with shortening.

4. Spread the sliced apples evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.

5. 
    

   In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, (except the ice cream, whipped cream or cream), until well mixed. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples. I usually mix the dry ingredients first and then add in the butter or margarine using a fork or pastry blender.

6. 
    

   Bake for about 30 minutes or until the topping of the crisp is golden brown. Another way to tell if your apple crisp is done is to pierce the apples with a fork. If the apples are tender, the crisp is done baking.

7. Serve warm with cream, ice cream, or whipped cream.

Tips & Warnings

• If sugar isn't a problem for you in the morning, apple crisp with yogurt is a tasty treat and for some, could be considered breakfast along with a hot cup of coffee.
