Cinnamon apple crisp

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

This dessert was absolutely delicious, easy to make, and gets a 10 in my book. It’s a nice size for a small party, especially on a cold winter night. The apples were moist without being mushy. I add a little extra cinnamon to the apples just because it’s my husband favourite spice. Delish!

Prep Time: 20 min
Total Time: 55 min
Makes: approximately 10-12 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 cups thinly sliced peeled Granny Smith apples (about 3-4 large apples)
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 25 vanilla wafers, crushed (about 1 cup crumbs)

  • Whipped cream (optional)

StepsCinnamon apple crisp

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Toss apples with 1/2 cup of the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Spoon into 8- or 9-inch square baking dish.
  2. Combine the oats, the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in medium bowl to make topping. Cut butter into pieces so it mixes easier. Add butter to topping mix until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add wafer crumbs; mix well. Spread crumb mixture evenly over apples. Sprinkle sugar on top of crumble topping.
  3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until apples are tender, but still slightly crispy. Top with whipped topping if desired.
