Apple Crisp

Yes, world I have been on hiatus for quite awhile. A bout of sickness. A relationship that ended. It was just a lot. I did eat though, that I promise, just not that great and not worth writing home about. I'm back and trying to get back on my feet and find my balance. That all started with tackling a dang gone pile of laundry. To try and get back into the swing of things I took on a pile of apples that had been sitting about. The crisp turned out OK but would have been better with some ice cream or whipped cream. The base of the recipe comes from:http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Apple-Crisp-II/Detail.aspx

Apple Crisp 


1.) Peel and dice about 4-5 apples. Granny Smith work the best but what ever you have lying around will work too. 


2.) Place the apples in a shallow baking dish.


3.) Combine 1/4 cup white sugar, 3 TBS of whole wheat flour,  a heaping 3 TBS of cinnamon. 


4.) Sprinkle the mixture over the apples.  Don't be afraid to use your hands. (just make sure that they are clean of course)


5.) Drizzle with 1/4 cup of water. (skip this if you are serving with ice cream)


5.) In a bowl combine 1.5 cups oatmeal, 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 tsp of baking soda, 1/4 tsp of baking powder, 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 3/4 cup of butter (softened and broken into pea shaped bits) 


6.) Pat this mixture over the apples. 


7.) Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon.


8.) Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.


9.) Serve with vanilla ice cream.
