Apple Crisp

Everyone loves apple pie, but sometimes a little change is nice.  And fruit crisp of any type is super easy and makes everyone happy.  And it bakes a lot quicker than a pie.  I use my handy apple peeler corer slicer to get the apples peeled, cored and sliced.  It’s a remarkable simple tool, and should really be part of everyone’s Thanksgiving cooking tool collection. This apple crisp recipe is just peeled sliced apples, a little sugar, cinnamon and flour, and a crunchy topping.  Bake it in the oven for a while until the apples get soft.  Then remind the teenagers to leave some for the rest of us.  

Like with pie, I like to use several different types of apples.  Grandma Gunda always insisted.  Of course, in Minnesota we used apples from the tree for pie, and many of them were a little imperfect.  Now I don’t have access to an apple tree, so I just buy apples from the grocery store.  I always choose 2 Granny Smith, and then whatever is on sale.  About 6 medium sized apples make about 6 cups of peeled slices apples, but you could throw in an extra apple if you have one around.  I bake this in an 8 x 8 inch square glass baking dish.   You could use whatever you happen to have just so long as the filling fits.  And try to leave a little space at the top to the apples don’t boil over.
