The colonists planted around 150 varieties of apples in New England, many of which can still be found today. Apples show up most often in a double-crust pie, but the crisp is also a superb showcase. Nothing more than fruit baked with crumbly nut, flour, sugar and butter topping, it's as simple to make as it is delicious. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats |
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar |
3/4 cup all purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature |
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped |
4 pounds pippin or granny smith apples, peeled, cored, sliced |
1 1/2 cups golden or brown raisins |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon all purpose flour |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
vanilla ice cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 9 x 13 1/2-inch glass baking dish.
2. For Topping: Mix old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, all purpose flour, ground cinnamon and salt in large bowl. Add unsalted butter and rub into mixture until coarse crumbs form. Mix in chopped walnuts.
3. For Filling: Combine sliced apples, raisins, sugar, fresh lemon juice, flour and ground cinnamon in large bowl. Mix well to blend. Transfer apple-raisin filling to prepared dish. Spread topping over. Bake until topping is golden brown, about 55 minutes. Serve crisp warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
