Mo's Manic Monday - Crisp
Posted: Monday, September 17, 2007 by Travis Cody in
Welcome to another Manic Monday with Morgen. Don't forget to cruise by MM HQ at It's A Blog Eat Blog World. Today's theme is Crisp.
I've chosen a yummy for today...Apple Crisp!
5 cups of apples
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup oats
1/2 cup flour
1/4 pound butter (about 1/2 cup)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
add lemon to taste
1/3 cup water
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Preheat a conventional oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Thinly slice the apples and place them in a buttered pan, and sprinkle them with lemon for flavor and to prevent them from turning brown. Peeling the apples is traditional, but not required. Add 1/3 cup of water and cinnamon to taste.
Meanwhile, to make the topping combine the butter, sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg, and crumble the ingredients in a bowl with your fingers to create a uniform mixture. Cover the apples with the topping and bake for 30-45 minutes or until the apples are soft and the topping is crisped. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Loose oats can be sprinkled sparingly on the surface of the topping before baking for added texture. (quoted directly from Wikipedia)
