Apple Crisp Recipe

5 varieties from my dwarf tree

It's early October and it's time to harvest your apples and make apple crisp! I got about 65 nice apples from my 5-in-1 dwarf tree this year and that should make plenty of crisps and pies over the next few months. You can find plenty of recipes on the net or in your paper cookbooks, so heat your oven up to 350 deg and let's get started. 

I must admit that I love my hand cranking apple peeler that my son Justin purchased for me some time ago. It peels and cores the apple in seconds and makes the process easy-peasy! Mine comes from Lee Valley Tools but you can find them at Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond and Canadian Tire. They make a great gift and you might be rewarded with a pie!

Hot from the oven

APPLE CRISP

6 medium apples

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons white sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup of flour

1/2 rolled oats (adds great texture)

Peel and core apples and toss them with the cinnamon and sugar. Cut the brown sugar, butter, flour and oats together and spread over the apples. Oven temperature 350 deg F for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream, cream or nada. Better make a double recipe because it won't last long. It's time to make apple crisp my friend.
