Apple Crisp

My family loves fruit crisp.  It is easy to see why.  Cut up some fruit, throw together a topping and you have a satisfying crumbly fruity goodness that is perfect with ice cream.

Peel some apples.  These ones were starting to get spots so it was a perfect excuse to make Crisp.

Time to get my slicer out.  I love this thing.  It was the first time using it for apples.  I use the square cutting blades all the time to make fries in my Actifry.

Butter your baking pan.

Look at how great that turns out!

Now get some brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.

Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of brown sugar over your cut apples, 2 tbsp flour to soak up all the juices, and 2-3 tbsp of cinnamon.  Go nuts, it's yummy.  Mix it up a bit right there in the pan.

Now for the topping.  Rolled oats, more brown sugar and flour, and butter.

Mix equal part sugar and oatmeal together.  Toss in a couple more tablespoons of flour and mix.

It should look something like this.

Sprinkle that all over the apples.

Dot the top with butter.

Bake for 25 minutes. These apples were really juicy so the flour made a nice sauce with the juices that came out.  The butter melts on top and makes a nice chewy crisp crunch.

This is a highly enjoyed dessert in my house.  I have made this with various berries, different types of apples, but strawberries and rhubarb are my favourite.  Adjust the sugar you add to the fruit to suit your taste and the sweetness of the fruit you use.
