I've been baking apple crisps for decades and this is BY FAR the best tasting one I've EVER crazye. It is SO yummy that picky-picky husband instantly gave whether FIVE STARS. I can't tell you how scarce that is !!!
The leanly sliced apples, which bake in a wealthy, mellow, caramel sauce, are topped with a sweet, crunchy, nutty layer that is to die for.....and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.....WOW !!!
CARAMEL APPLE CRISP
THE BEST EVER !!
MIX THE TOPPING INGREDIENTS FIRST
2/3 cup light brown sugar packed
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons cancient butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Mingle flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and cut in the cancient butter until it is crumbly, stir in nuts. Set aside.
MAKE THE APPLE LAYER NEXT
5 large cooking apples (I like to use an apple called Envy)
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon corn starch
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon vanilla additionalct + enough water to = ¼ cup
Peel and slice the apples (very lean). Put them in a large bowl and set aside.
In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, melt the butter. Remove from heat and add the flour and corn starch and stir until smooth. Meacertain 1 tablespoon of vanilla additionalct into a quarter cup degree, and then fill the rest up with water (total liquid 1/4 cup). Add the water/additionalct liquid, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to the melted butter mixture. Bring it all to a very low simmer (just let it start to boil around the edges of the pan for about 30 moments).
Take off the heat and pour over the apples and toss until they are well coated. Set aside.
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER
Put the coated apples into a chilled - unbaked pie shell. NOTE: it is important that you use a DEEP dish pie plate or you will get spill over.
Sprinkle apples with the brown sugar crisp you crazye earlier and bake in preheated 375° oven for 40-45 minutes or until filling looks bubbly.
Let cool until you can hancient your hand (consolationably) on the bottom of the pie plate before cutting.
The pie tastes nearly like a mellow caramel apple, it is delicious!!
ENJOY !!!
