One of the things I like most about Thanksgiving is the desserts. Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Pudding Pie and of course Apple Pie. However, as much as I love to eat pie I absolutely hate to make them. My crusts are always hard and tasteless or the pie filling is watery which makes everything mush! Yuck! And since I am in charge of the apple dessert this year I knew I had to come up with an alternative. My fix....turn that pie into a crisp which also has an extra bonus because my husband who has gluten issues can enjoy this as well. I hope you all like this as much as we did!
Quick and Easy Apple Crisp
Ingredients
4 cups of apples, peeled and sliced
1 T sugar
2 T water
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup all purpose flour (if making GF change to GF All purpose flour)
1/2 cup of old fashioned oats (if making GF make sure your oats are certified GF)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 T softened unsalted butter (very cold, cut into small cubes)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a pie dish (I used a 2 qt glass baking dish) with cooking spray.
- in a large bowl mix the apples, sugar, water, cornstarch, 1 tsp of cinnamon and nutmeg until well mixed.
- Place apple mixture into your pie dish.
- To make the oatmeal topping gently combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and butter until crumbly. (Tip: use the tips of your fingers and not your palms which will cause the butter to melt.)
- Sprinkle the oatmeal topping evenly over the apples. (It will seem like a lot)
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the apple are completely cooked and the juices if bubbling.
- Serve hot or at room temperature. (Apple Crisp is amazing when served with vanilla ice cream!)
