Apple Crisp Recipes| “A” IS FOR APPLE! Apple Crisp!
Apple Crisp: Was the forbidden apple in the Garden of Eden a Red Delicious? Pippin? Jonathan? Grimes Golden?
Well, scholars of the bible say that Eve tempted Adam with an Apricot, and in the translations through the centuries, Apricot became Apple.
Make sense, doesn’t it? Apricots are indigenous to that part of the world, while apples need a hard winter to survive!
Just about any apple will work in this favorite apple crisp of mine, made a little different with the addition of dried cherries.
Here’s how I make my apple crisp. The recipe can be cut in half, doubled, or even tripled!
Apple Crisp Recipes
4 generous cups apples (just about anything but Red Delicious) –
I like a combination of Granny Smith and Jonathan, peeled if desired and
either sliced thin or diced
¾ to 1 cup, or to taste, dried cherries (dried cranberries can be
substituted)
Splash of fresh lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
¾ cup all purpose flour
1 stick unsalted butter
Dash salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter or spray a shallow casserole. Toss apple slices and cherries with lemon juice. Blend cinnamon, brown sugar, flour, butter and salt together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Put apples into casserole. Press topping over them.
Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until apples are tender. The topping gets very chewy and candy-like, and this crisp is delicious served warm with ice cream, room temperature, or cold.
This Apple Crisp Recipe serves 4-6.
