Apple Crisp

April 28, 2006 | Filed Under Desserts/Sweets, Other, Baking

There’s nothing better than being able to make a super easy dessert — especially an easy one that tastes really good.This Apple Crisp recipe comes from celebrity chef Rachel Ray . All you need are apples, lemon, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, flour, and butter. I loved the smell of the cinnamon and nutmeg as I mixed them together with the other ingredients. I also love how I could taste the ingredients nicely blended together. The ice cream makes a nice addition.

This dessert is made especially for FoodCrazee, who celebrates his birthday today. I hope you like it! I hope everyone likes it. Happy birthday, FoodCrazee!

Happy birthday, also, to those who celebrated birthdays this month of April — Michelle and Pille. I wish you all a wonderful birthday year!

Best,
Paz

In a 9 by 12 baking dish, combine apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar.

In a small bowl, mix flour or graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and butter together using the tines of a fork and your fingers, working until even, small crumbles form.

Sprinkle topping evenly over apples and bake 15 to 20 minutes until apples are just tender and topping is golden brown.
