I found this recipe and modified it a bit, and although I think it’s VERY good – it feels weird to call it a “crisp” when it contains no oatmeal. Apple crisp – growing up, anyway- always had oatmeal.
This recipe is great because it only takes 4 good size apples, 5 if they’re smallish – and cooks in an 8×8 pan – so its a good way to use up fruit without making a giant pan of something. Good for small dinner parties or potlucks too. Enjoy!
Easy Apple Crisp Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 Prepared Apples peeled & sliced - medium or 4 large - any type work
- 1/4 C Brown Sugar packed
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 C Water
- 1 C All Purpose Flour
- 2/3 C Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 C Butter softened or margarine -but salted butter is best
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 375, spray 8x8 baking pan to keep from sticking
-
Prepare apples - peel and slice - thickness is up to you but thicker means more cook time. Spread apples evenly in bottom of prepared pan.
-
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over apple mixture. Pour water over cinnamon sugar and apples
-
In same small bowl (now empty) combine flour, cinnamon, granulated sugar and then cut in the softened butter until crumbly. Crumble over the top of the apple mixture
-
Bake for 40-45 minutes - if your apples are sliced thin - probably 30 minutes. I usually start at 30 minutes and add time until the apples are done. Be sure to cool before serving - 10 minutes on a wire rack should do.
