Fall means apple season here in Michigan. So, when grandma was here for the last week, we decided to put the peck I purchased to use and make apple crisp, one of my favorite treats (and even better than apple pie in my opinion). We followed a simple recipe I’ve made a few dozen times. It always turns out delicious…but as my grandma said “Nothing with 3 sticks of butter can turn out bad!” It’s not healthy, but boy is it delicious. Here’s the recipe:
INGREDIENTS
2 cups of flour
2 cups of rolled oats
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
1½ cups of brown sugar
1½ cups of butter (3 sticks)
2 quarts of apples (4 cups or about 5-6 small/medium apples), sliced thin – Honeycrisp, McIntosh and Cortland are good bets, but use your apple preference.
+ a cute helper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine mixture (I just blend it all together versus layering to make it easy). Spread into a 9×13 greased pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes.
TIP: For extra indulengence, serve with vanilla ice cream and caramel syrup. To get that fresh-from-the-oven taste, nuke for 25 seconds before serving if cooled.
ENJOY!
What are your favorite fall treats?
Looks delish! I am going to surprise Charlie one night and make this with honeycrisp apples. Your Grandma is the cutest helper ever!
Mmmm, honeycrisp apples are the best!
Oh that looks delicious! Your grandma is the cutest!
Thanks, Kim. She’s one-of-a-kind I will say that!
Your apple crisp sounds delicious, and I love your cute helper! (give her a hug for me….)
Will do, Dianna. She’s the best apple peeler on the planet!
I love apple crisp. And it’s easier than apple pie, especially if you are trying to make your own crust, give up in frustration and want to make something with the apple filling you’ve prepared 😉
Yes, the original plan was to make an apple pie with homemade crust, but I don’t have a pie pan. So much for being domestic! I generally buy store bought crust to avoid the hassle.
YUM! I love pretty much anything baked with apples….. a fall staple around here!
You are so lucky to have your grandma around still! I wish mine were… it’s been so long since they’ve been gone…. well over 20 years I think.
I know. I feel very lucky she keeps on tickin’.
Caramel corn! I just made 8 batches of ginger caramel crunch for my friend’s “ready to pop” baby shower this past weekend. I cheated on my wellness plan, but man was it worth it for this delicious treat!
What an adorable theme and idea! Caramel corn is delicious. Might have to try to make that some time…
