APPLE CRISP!

I did this the (relatively) hard way.  You don’t have to.  Here’s my revised recipe for this fantastic apple crisp complete with all the changes that I suggest in this episode:

Filling Ingredients

• 8 large thinly sliced Apples (I used Macouns)
• 1/4 cup Honey
• 1/4 cup Blanched Almond Flour
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg (or some ground Ginger)
• 3 Tbs Palm Shortening

Crisp Ingredients

• 2 cups Blanched Almond Flour
• 1/2 cup Honey
• 1 Tbs Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Celtic Sea Salt
• 6 Tbs Palm Shortening

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
• Thinly slice 8 large apples (so that there are thin ribbons of skin).
• Put the apples in a brownie pan
• Mix together the Honey, Blanched Almond Flour, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Palm Shortening (for the filling)
• Pour the filling mixture all over the apples. Don’t worry about getting it perfectly evenly distributed, it will melt and spread out.
• Place in the oven (just while you prepare the crisp topping)
• For the crisp topping: Mix together the Honey, Blanched Almond Flour, Cinnamon, Celtic Sea Salt, and Palm Shortening.
• Take the apples out of the oven
• Use your hands to place the crisp topping batter on top of the apples in small clumps. (Don’t worry about perfectly covering every inch of the apples. The crisp topping will melt and spread a bit in the oven).
• Bake for 40 to 60 minutes on the middle rack (until it’s golden brown).
• Let it cool for 30 minutes
• EAT!!!

Leftovers

I’ve been trying for years to get an apple crisp to have the taste and the texture similar to the apple crisp I ate growing up, and this time I actually think I’ve done it.  Maybe it’s not exactly the same, but it’s the pretty darn close.

I’ve already made this recipe three times since shooting this episode.  I like it best when the crisp is totally cooled (that’s when the texture is the firmest and chewiest).  It’s also fantastic with some coconut milk (or ice cream if you can do that).  If you love apple crisp, make this.  Make it right now.

And a huge thank you to Sara from www.themessychef.net for her inspiring recipe!

Good Luck!
