Apple Crisp

I don’t happen to remember where I found this Apple Crisp recipe but I’ve had it for quite some time.  I love it because it’s so easy to prepare and it doesn’t have oatmeal in it.  When it’s fresh, the topping is crunchy but the apples will absorb into the topping so eat it up FAST! 

I was thinking when I made it today that next time I might try using brown sugar in the apples and stick with granulated sugar in the topping.  I’ll let you know how that goes the next time I try it out. 

4 apples (I use Macs)

½ cup granulated sugar

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 cup flour

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 egg, beaten

1/3 cup butter, melted

½ tsp cinnamon

Peel, core and slice apples.  Mix in apples, ½ cup sugar and lemon juice in a separate bowl.  Arrange in a baking dish (I usually use a 9 inch pie plate but you can use an 8 x 8 pan too).  Mix the flour, ¾ cup sugar, baking powder and salt together in another bowl.  Add the egg and mix until crumbly.  Sprinkle on apple mixture.  Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle on the cinnamon.  Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.  Serve warm if possible and top with whipped cream.
