The Excellent Baker - Apple Crisp

Posted in My Recipe Box!

 

 

The Excellent Baker - Apple Crisp

I made some apple crisp on Wednesday morning for a treat. Little did I know how fast it was going to be gone. I myself don’t like it. I never have. But it’s very fun to make. Amanda informed me, with her hand on her stomach, that it was breakfast dish, not a desert dish to be *after* lunch. So I had to give in and let everyone have some while Amanda made some spaghetti noodles for lunch. I thought you might all want to try this recipe, so I will share it with you. :)

Apple Crisp

4 medium apples, cut into 1/4 inch slices
2/3 to 3/4 cup of flour (I used cake flour for this)
1/2 cup of oats (regular oatmeal is fine)
1/3 cup of butter
3/4 tsp. of cinnamon
3/4 tsp. nutmeg

Heat the oven to 375*. Arrange the apples in a greased 8×8x2inch baking pan. (I used a 13×9x2 inch baking pan. It worked fine.) Mix the remaining ingredients and then sprinkle it over the apples in the pan.

Bake this wonderful surprise for about 30 minutes, until it turns a golden brown on the top. Serve it warm, if you want, or you can wait until it is cooled. You can serve it with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

I actually made double the topping because it’s never enough only making the recipe. Everyone loves this at our house… except me! :) But I don’t mind making it. I’m a bake-aholic. Trying to become The Excellent Baker. :D If anyone has a recipe for this, would you like to share, so I can try a few different ones and see which one works best? That would be wonderful!

Trying To Be The Excellent Baker,

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

I hope you have enjoyed reading the thoughts and happenings of a fourteen-year-old girl from the country. “You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!” Philippians 4:13

Gotta A Reason?

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

We just had some apple crisp (as a dessert after lunch today). Must be that time of year again, huh?

Looks like your family is in my neck of the woods too! That is too cool when that happens. We live in Angola!

Blessings!

Hello Rachel,

This recipe sounds great and I am looking forward to trying it also! I believe I have a few apples left over from my sister's trees that would work wonderfully!!

Peace and Blessings,
Lizzy
