This is an excellent recipe for an Organic Apple Crisp. If you’ve never had Apple Crisp before you’ve got to try it. It’s fairly easy to put together and absolutely delicious. And when you serve it you’ve most people like to serve it warm (not hot) on top of ice cream (organic vanilla of course) or yogurt/frozen yogurt or with heavy cream. .. And a good cup of coffee along with it isn’t too bad either.
Anyway, this is a recipe previously posted but lost in the Yahoo
hosting debacle (don’t get me started). I decided to move things over to another provider after this so now we’re good. Also, back to the recipe, I’ve since discovered that a slight drizzle of organic maple syrup when serving really works well as an additional flavor note with the apples and brown sugar. Test it out you may love it. .. Hope you enjoy the recipe.

Preliminary: (Measuring & Prepping the Dry Ingredients)
-Take out your food processor.
-Fluff up the Flour in it’s container using a butter knife.
-Measure & Add to the Food Processor 6 Tablespoons of All-Purpose Flour.
-Measure & Add to the Food Processor ¼ Cup of Brown Sugar (pack it into the measuring cup).
-Measure & Add to the Food Processor ¼ Cup of Granulated Sugar.
-Measure & Add to the Food Processor ¼ Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon.
-Measure & Add to the Food Processor ¼ Teaspoon of Ground Nutmeg.
-Measure & Add to the Food Processor ¼ Teaspoon of Salt.
-Pulse the Food Process a Few Times to get everything Mixed.
-Take a Stick of Unsalted Butter from the Refrigerator. Cut the Stick at 6 Tablespoons. Cut this in Small Slices and Add to the Food Processor.
-Pulse the Food Processor Until Everything Looks Grainy.
-Measure and Add ½ Cup of Walnuts, Almonds or Pecans (or a combination of them). If you don’t like Nuts use Old Fashion Rolled Oats.
-Measure and Add ½ Cups of Old Fashion Rolled Oats (if you used the Oats in the Previous Step Add in this ½ Cup as well).
-Pulse the Food Processor a Few Times but Remember You Want Everything Chopped and Combined & not mushed up. So don’t run the Processor Too much or You’ll End Up With this Brown Goo. So, Chop…Combine & then … Step Away From The Food Processor.
-Remove the Bowl From the Food Processor and Place it in the Refrigerator.
The Main Event (Making the Apple Mix and Baking)
-Move the Oven Rack to the Center Position. Preheat the Oven to 375F.
-Peel, Core and Cut 3 Medium Granny Smith & 3 Medium McIntosh Apples into a Large Bowl (or substitute the 3 Medium McIntosh Apples with 2 Medium McIntosh Apples and 1 Cup of Raspberries).
-Cut a Medium Lemon the Long Way in Half. Cut Each Half the Long Way Again.
-Squeeze each Quarter into a Small Separate Bowl. Fish out any seeds. Add the Lemon Juice to the Apples in the Large Bowl (pour all over the apples).
-Measure and Add ¼ Cup of Granulated Sugar to the Apple Mix.
-Toss the Apple Mix to combine everything.
-Take out a Baking Dish (Use a Pie Pan or Baking Pan. Something with Deep Enough Sides to Hold Everything and 8 to 9 Inches Across).
-Add the Apple Mixture to the Pan.
-Take the Topping out of the Refrigerator and Put on Top of the Apple Mixture. You probably will have to use your fingers. Remember Spread it around to cover the top but don’t pack in down.
-Bake for 40 minutes (but watch it to make sure you’re not running a overly hot oven that will burn it).
-Take a peek. The top should be brown but not burned. If it looks OK increase the oven to 400F and bake for 5 minutes more.
-Remove from the Oven and let it cool and gel a bit.
Get your bowl and serve. Personally, I get my Organic Vanilla Frozen Yogurt and spread my Organic Apple Crisp all over the top. Now one of the keys is to wait until the apple crisp is not hot but warm. This of course keeps the Frozen Yogurt from Melting too fast. Then a quick/slight drizzle of maple syrup. Awesome!
Now this is good food, real good food. No store bought piece of chemicalized “food-stuff” dessert can even come close.
