Apple Crisp

A simple Apple Crisp is such a delicious and easy dessert, provided you have the right tools. An apple peeler/corer turns the dreaded chore of prepping apples into an effortless and almost fun step in the baking process. It is a must have gadget for anyone who enjoys making pies, crips, fruit tarts, and other sweet treats. Plus, this easy to use tool not only works on apples, but other fruits and vegetables like pears or potatoes. Find one at Bed Bath and Beyond or Williams-Sonoma just in time for that Thanksgiving pie! With the help of my peeler/corer I was able to whip up this Apple Crisp in about 10 minutes!

6 Medium tart apples, sliced, cored and peeled. ¼ cup water 1 cup packed brown sugar ½ cup All Purpose Flour ½ cup quick or old-fashioned oats ½ cup butter or margarine, softened 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon nutmeg Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease bottom of a baking dish (9 x 13 works well). Spread sliced apples in a pan and add water to pan. In a mixing bowl, stir remaining ingredients together until well mixed. Sprinkle over apples. Bake 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender. Serve warm and top with cream or vanilla ice cream (if desired, but I think it’s a must)
