Only Easy: Apple Crisp

I made Apple Crisp for the Independence Day holiday weekend a few weeks back. It’s a crowd-pleaser and perfect served while still warm with some vanilla bean ice cream. Most importantly, it isn’t fussy. I don’t bother peeling (more fiber!) and cubing the apples. I simply wash the apples, core and slice thinly, only easy baby!

Only Easy Apple Crisp

Ingredients:

Apple Filling:

10 C. (about 3 lbs.) cheap apples ($5 from Costco or Walmart. See pic below of empty apple bag)
1 C. white sugar
1 T. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
⅓ – ½ C. water

Crumble:

½ C. butter, melted (I use salted)
1 C. oats (old-fashioned, but “quick”will work too)
1 C. flour
1 C. brown sugar, packed
¼ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. baking soda

Method:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the white sugar, 1 T. flour and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Core and slice apples. Add to the sugar/flour/cinnamon mixture. Add water to the mixture and pour into a 9” x 13” pan.
Melt the butter in another bowl. Add oats,1 C. flour, brown sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Add to apples.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
