I'm planning to make more applesauce tonight but I gave apple crisp a go the other night and just like always, it was less than perfect. Not bad, but just not awesome.
I don't know what it is but every single year I try to make it and every single year I fail. I just can't get it down.
This year I tried a recipe from Southern Food. It was pretty good with ice cream but it was definitely better cold, out of the fridge. I think I need more crumbly topping. That's what I'm lacking.
This recipe was super easy to make so I definitely recommend it. Maybe try to double the topping? And if anyone has a good recipe, please share!
Link is posted above but here's the goods
Top this great tasting apple crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly memorable dessert. Add walnuts or pecans to this apple crisp or omit the nuts and add more oats.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Yield: Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds tart apples, such as Granny Smith
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, or add an additional 1/4 cup of oats
Preparation:
Peel, core and chop the apples; toss in a bowl with lemon juice. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; add to the apples and toss to combine.
In another bowl combine flour, sugar and oats. Cut butter into 8 small pieces, and cut butter into flour with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture is crumbly. Stir in the chopped nuts.
Butter a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread apple mixture in bottom of baking dish then sprinkle with flour mixture. Bake at 375° for 30 to 45 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is lightly browned.
Serve the crisp warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzling of heavy cream.
