Hot Apple Crisp for dessert tonight!
Apple anything is my hubby's dessert of choice,
but this deep dish crumb topped crisp is his favorite ...
... with a big dollop of whipped cream on the top.
Our favorite baking apples are Cortlands from our favorite orchard,
This is a very easy recipe.
My hubby does not like raisins or oatmeal of nuts in his crisp.
Just lots of apples and cinnamon with a crunchy crumb crust.
It is essentially a deep dish apple crumb pie without the bottom crust.

My Apple Crisp Recipe
(makes a deep dish pie or 2 quart casserole dish)
Set oven to 375 degrees F
Butter dish.
Make topping:
1 cup flour
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 stock butter, softened
Mix dry ingredients together
and then work in soft butter with your fingers to
form small crumbs.
Set aside.
Make Filling:
10-12 large firm apples cut into small wedges
juice of 1 medium lemon
3/4 -1 cup white sugar (to taste)
1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Mix together and pour into dish.
Pack down apples.
Cover with crumb mixture,
packing down lightly.
Bake 45-60 minutes or until apples are easily pierced by small knife in center.
Cover top of crisp loosely with a sheet of foil to prevent too much browning
for the few minutes of baking.
Crisp is done when it starts bubbling at the sides and apples are soft.
Top should be light golden brown and crunchy.
Serve hot with ice cream or whipped cream.
Enjoy!
