| Despite this heat, I am cooking like it is Fall. I baked an apple crisp yesterday. |
Check out the temperature in my car while it was sitting in my driveway. The W's can't go on walks when the pavement is this hot. 122 degrees!!! I should have baked the apple crisp in my car.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 4 cups sliced peeled apples
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vanilla ice cream, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large
bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Cut in butter until crumbly.
Press half into a greased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish or a 9-in. square baking
pan. Cover with apples.
- In a
small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, water and vanilla. Bring
to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thick and clear. Pour over
apples. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.
- Bake 60-65 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm, with ice cream if desired.
Cut the apples as uniform as possible for even baking.
This turns into a creamy caramel sauce as the crisp bakes.
Pour it over the apples.....
....then top it with the remaining topping.
Place it on a cookie sheet lined with foil and spray the foil so it doesn't stick.
I guarantee that the wonderful caramel sauce will boil over.
I always sit my pies or crisps on a damp towel with a bit of Dawn on it. After a few minutes you can just turn the plate back and forth on the towel and all of the run over will wipe right off. My husband said that this is his favorite apple crisp.
