classic apple crisp

 

This apple crisp recipe was recommended to me by my friend Dee-Anna in Oregon.  When my friend Karen brought me some fresh Fuji apples from the farm I knew I had to make it.  It's DELICIOUS!  I highly recommend it.  I'd make this over an apple pie any day.

classic apple crisp (sally's baking addiction)

8 medium peeled apples, cut into 1-inch chunks that are 1/4- 1/2" thick

1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

topping

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup light or dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 cup old-fashioned whole oats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a large bowl, then spread into the baking pan.

Make the topping:  Whisk the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.  Cut in the utter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture becomes super crumbly.  Stir in the oats.  Sprinkle over filling.

Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges.  Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.  Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.

Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

inside out dumplings (meatballs)

 

I am so behind on posting.  I blame it on having a child getting married...soon!  Imagine these meatballs with a drizzle of teriyaki or soy glazed chili sauce.   I stay away from added sugars but you probably don't so do that.  I really enjoyed these meatballs so I'm glad I doubled the recipe because I've been eating them for lunch all week.

inside out dumplings (Costco Connection Magazine, October 2022)

1 pound ground pork or beef (I used lean ground turkey)

4 ounces canned water chestnuts, drained and finely minced

3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbvs

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon ginger, grated or finely minced

1 teaspoon garlic, grated or finely minced

1 large scallion, minced

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

I did not follow Costco's instructions to air fry them.  I poured a little bit of olive oil into a frying pan and pan fried them.  You can do what you wish.
