Apple Crisp


I had some apples that weren't quite good enough to eat raw so decided to make an apple crisp. I have to say, I ended up messing this one up a bit. I had a friend over for lunch and was trying to hurry so that it would be done before we had to go pick our kids up from school. So I accidentally left out the brown sugar. I realized this when I pulled it out of the oven. So I just mixed in the brown sugar and baked it a little longer. It was good after that. I think this would have really been good if I had did it right the first time. Apparently I just can't bake under pressure (see my pumpkin pie incident). LOL

I only made half a recipe and agree with some reviews that the flour needs to be cut down. I had never made apple crisp before and felt overall this was a pretty good recipe. Next time I will make sure I add the sugar! LOL I'll also cut down the flour a bit.

Apple Crisp IV

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups butter
2 quarts peeled, cored and sliced apples


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. Cut butter into mixture until crumbly.
3. Take half of the mixture and pat it into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
4. Cover crumb mixture with apple slices, then sprinkle apple slices with remaining crumb mixture.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes or until apples are tender.


Happy Eating!

We like the flour/oats proportions you listed. But we use at least 3 quarts of fruit; apples, berries, peaches or apricots usually but I've tried some other fruits in the past, too.
I also have never heard of patting a bottom crust when making a crisp. I'll try it next time.

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

I don't know about you but I really enjoy ranch dressing. The stuff in the bottle is okay, but if you look at the ingredients it contains some not so good stuff like MSG and added sugar. It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe. It's super easy to make your own ranch mix. If you make a batch of this up, you can have it already on hand to make ranch dressing or add it into other recipes. Let's get started! Salt-free Ranch Dressing Mix Ingredients: 4 Tbsp of dried parsley 4 tsp of dried dill 4 tsp of onion powder 4 tsp of minced dried onion 2 tsp of garlic powder 1 tsp of ground black pepper Combine the spices in a bowl and from here you can process them for a bit in a mini food processor to mix well and make some of the parsley smaller or you can use a coffee grinder as a spice grinder. Then place in a contai...
