Yesterday I was charged with the task of making a dessert. I was going to use my default: chocolate chip cookies or cupcakes. When I got to the store, I found I wanted something more refreshing - something more in line with summer [read: side of ice cream]. I took to Pinterest - thank goodness for this site, am I right?! Google is great and all, but Pinterest knows exactly what I need.
I came across this recipe by Love, Pomegranate House.
It seemed relatively easy and the ingredients consisted mostly of items I would normally have at home. The apples were the only item listed that I needed to buy.
Apple Crisp
{Ingredients}
10 cups apples cored and sliced (I read 10 apples yesterday when I made this!)1 cup white sugar
1 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup water (this is not always necessary as sugar makes the apples release juices)
2 cups quick cooking oats
2 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup butter softened
{How To}
1. Preheat the oven to 350*2. Toss sliced apples (I diced mine into squares) with white sugar, flour, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Place coated apples in a 9x13 pan. Pour water evenly over mixture (you don't NEED the water....I did this but found that I would have been fine without. It made for a runny mixture after it baked)
3. Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the mixture - **I actually mostly melted the butter for this step so that I could get the dry mixture wet to create a dough-like mixture.
4. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture
5. Bake for 45 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
6. Serve with vanilla ice cream*
