Crumbly Apple Crisp

This is another recipe I tried from Alisa's blog for Tried and Tasted. It came out perfect. The streusel on top came out crispy and crumbly and the apple base was soft and melted in the mouth. I will definitely be trying this recipe with other fruits. I halved Alisa's recipe since I had only two apples. It makes a great dessert and I guess it should taste great with some vanilla icecream.

Ingredients (Makes 6 to 8 servings)

Large apples - 2
All-Purpose Flour - 1/2 cup
Margarine - 1/4 cup
Brown Sugar - 1/2 cup
Quick-Cooking Rolled Oats - 3/4 cup
Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
Nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon
Pure Maple Syrup - 2 tablespoons

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, nutmeg and half teaspoon of cinnamon. Add the margarine and combine with a fork to get a coarse mixture.

Slice the apples thinly and mix them along with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon left and arrange the apple slices evenly on the baking dish. Top the apple slices evenly with the oats-flour mixture, so as to cover all the apples. Drizzle with the maple syrup. This helps to seal the streusel topping with the apples.

Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, until the topping turns crisp.

Serve warm or cold!
