While we cut the apples up for the applesauce, we filled a 9×9 pan with cut apple slices as well.
I had plans for an apple crisp.
And after working with all those peaches and all those apples, our thumbs were wore out from the peeling/coring/cutting.
I used sweetener to lighten up the recipe some, and just sprinkled it over the apples. I also sprinkled cinnamon over the sweetener.
Then, I came up with a crisp topping. I used my mom’s old recipe, that’s delicious all on it’s own, by the way. But I also added some oatmeal to it to jazz it up a bit. I replaced the sugar with sweetener as well.
Whisk up an egg, add brown sugar/sweetener, salt, flour, baking powder and oatmeal. Use your fork to mix it up.
Once it’s all combined, it’ll be a little lumpy, scatter it over the apples.
Then, top with a little butter or margerine. Just cut little slices and set them around on top of the crisp.
I went light on it, but you could totally use more than this.
Then, pop into a preheated oven for 30 minutes, preferably just as you’re sitting down for supper. That way, after you’re done and sitting around chatting for a bit, you’ll smell the crisp and then hear one of the best sounds in the world.
The beep from the oven.
Oh, yeah!
