Making Apple Crisp

 

There is a cool breeze blowing,

the leaves are drifting down,

and the smell of apple crisp is in the air!

 

This morning in between home schooling, I made

up an apple crisp for our lunch today.  I had a little

helper, as you can see!  Miss E was my chief taste

tester- she decided sugar tastes a whole lot better

than flour!  She loves to help me cook, which makes

me happy, but I think what she likes best is sampling

everything.  Her brothers aren't too happy about this,

but what can I say?  She's just so cute...

 

Apple crisp is a great way to enjoy the flavors of

fall without being as time consuming as a pie.

It also works very well to make it gluten free,

just use a gluten free flour blend in place of

the regular flour.  Here's the recipe I use all the time-

 

Apple Crisp

 

6 c. peeled and sliced apples

3/4 c. white sugar

1 T. flour

1 tsp. cinnamon

 

Mix and place in a greased 9x9 inch baking dish.

 

3/4 c. oatmeal

3/4 c. flour

3/4 c. brown sugar

1/3 c. melted butter

1/4 tsp. soda

1/4 tsp. baking powder

 

Mix above till crumbly and place on top of apples.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.  Serve warm with whip cream or ice cream!
