Apple Crisp Recipe

I know you still have apples to use up, Jill. I saw this recipe on smittenkitchen.com and thought of you and your love of granola. Might be worth trying...

Breakfast Apple Granola Crisp

3lbs of apples, whatever type you want, peeled cored and cut into medium chunks
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
3 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon cinnamon
salt
1 stick unsalted butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup flour
2 cups oats
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix apple chunks with lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a 9x13inch baking dish until apples are evenly coated.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the honey. Stir in the flour, oats, almonds, coconut and another pinch of salt until clumps form. Sprinkle evenly over the apple mixture and bake in the oven for about 45 to 55 minutes or until the apples are softened and bubbly.
Should the granola brown before you wish it to, cover the baking dish carefully with foil for all but the last few minutes of baking time, when removing the foil will help the granola re-crisp. Cool at room temperature and then stash in the fridge to eat with your morning yogurt.

Apple Pie

This is what the end result looks like.



Notes: use deep dish crust
keep top crust loose if you can
cut a fairly large hole in the top crust
pour SLOWLY while both pie and custard are pretty hot

Do not cut the pie until it is fully chilled or the insides go EVERYWHERE.
