Apple Crisp

               It’s apple season and you have so many choices, from baking apples to just a good apple to eat.  A popular use of apples for my family is Apple Crisp.  I have tested this gluten free version of our old classic.

Apple Crisp

Topping

1 c. Oats

¼ c. Brown Sugar

½ c. Toasted Nuts of your choice

4 Tbsp (1/2 stick) Butter cut into small cubes

½ tsp Cinnamon

1. Preheat Oven to 375°.
2. Put Oats in a food processor and process until Oats have a flour like consistency.
3. Remove 2 Tbsp of the Oats for later use.
4. Add Nuts, Sugar, Cinnamon, and Butter to the food processor.
5. Switch processor off and on until the ingredients look like a coarse meal.

Fruit Filling

1-1/2 lb Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

2 Tbsp Sugar (add more if apples are tart per your taste)

2 Tbsp Oats

1. Take Apple slices, Sugar, and the reserved 2 Tbsp of Oats and toss in a bowl until Apples are coated.
2. Put Apples into a 9” x 9” pan.
3. Spread Topping over the Apples.
4. Put pan into the oven and bake until the juices bubble and the topping is browned.  This takes about 35-45 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes to serve warm.  The other option is to let the crisp cool completely for a later use.

Suggestions for serving accompaniments: Ice Cream, Vanilla Yogurt

We enjoy the crisp warm with the Vanilla Yogurt.  I hope you enjoy it.
