Today it was individual apple crisps. The girls said that I need to make those again, so next time I'll have a photo. Also, bear in mind, I was tossing things together as I went, so my measurements this time are inexact.
Maple- Brown sugar Apple Crisps
Ingredients:
- 2 apples - I used 1 Granny Smith and 1 Jonamac. With my apple pies I like a mixture of sweet and tart apples. These make a nice combination.
- 2 T pure maple syrup
- 3 T brown sugar
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 T wheat germ
- vegan margarine (or butter if you're not a vegan)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Peel and slice the apples into very thin slices.
- Place into a bowl and drizzle with maple syrup.
- Add the brown sugar and stir well. Taste to adjust. You may like it sweeter or more mapley.
- Put the mixture into greased ramekins. This made enough for three.
- In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until coarsely ground.
- Add the oats and pulse again until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
- Dump this mixture into the same bowl that held the apple mixture. The bowl should still have some of the maple syrup/brown sugar mixture in it. Stir well to mix in all the syrup.
- Add about 1/4 cup of brown sugar (I usually add it in tablespoon increments and taste as I go) and mix well. I like to add a tablespoon or two of wheat germ too.
- Cut in about 2 T of butter or vegan margarine. (I like Earth Balance) and work with your hands or a pasty cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Divide between the three ramekins, packing down the crumb topping firmly.
- Bake in a 375 oven for 25 minutes or until it's bubbling nicely around the edges.
- Take out and let cool on a rack for a bit and then serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream.
