Zoes Apple Crisp Recipes

APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• For the apples: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with butter.
• Arrange the apple slices in the prepared baking dish in an even layer. In a bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples, then pour 1/2 cup water over top.
• For the topping: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt. Stir while drizzling in the melted butter. Sprinkle the topping in an even layer over the apples.
• Bake until the topping is slightly crisp and golden brown, about 43 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature on its own, with ice cream or with frozen custard.

AWESOME ALMOND APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, mix together the oat flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and butter.
• Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles cornmeal (it will stick together when squeezed in your hand). Mix in crushed almonds.
• In a large bowl, toss together the apples, sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon.
• Arrange the apples in a baking dish. I used an 8-inch Round Pan (measured along the bottom), but this will also fit in a 9-inch square baking dish. Cover loosely with the almond crisp topping and bake for about 1 hour or until bubbling on the sides and the apples are tender when poked with a knife. This will take more or less time, depending on the pan you use.
• Serve with ice cream, if desired! I served mine with cranberry swirl ice cream.
