To celebrate Veterans day and to break up the soup monotony I made a special dessert for my Veteran husband. For those of you not aware William served in the Air Force from 1997-2001. I have never made one of these before and was pleasantly surprised by the results. The most time consuming part is peeling all of the apples, so I recommend enlisting some help. :) I used Fuji apples, but you can use whatever kind you prefer.
Apple Crisp
Ingredients:
8 cups of peeled and sliced apples (approx. 10 apples)
1 cup Raw Sugar
1/ 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
1 1/4 cup Quick Oats
1 cup Earth Balance Butter
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
Directions:
*Preheat oven to 375 degrees
*Peel the apples
*Core apples and then cut into 1/4 inch slices
*Mix apples and sugar together and spread evenly into a 9 x 12 inch glass cake pan
*Add the butter to the flour
*Blend with fingers until completely mixed. Will be crumbly.
*Add the oats, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon.
*Using your hands again mix all ingredients together until the mixture is crumbly.
*Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples. It is okay if there are holes.
*Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes
*Cool on a rack for about 30 minutes before serving.
