Apple Crisp | Life at Spring Meadows | Gardening Living Creating<\/p><\/div>\n

It's that time of the year. Fresh apples. Good to eat straight from the tree, bake with cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter, or maybe a fresh apple cake that my aunt makes that is always so delicious. So many recipes and ideas running through my head!<\/p>\n

Today I chose to make Apple Crisp. It is a quick and easy recipe that is not short on taste at all! I used an iron skillet that belonged to my grandmother. If you don't have an iron skillet, then use your favorite oven safe 2 quart dish.<\/p>\n

A Little Info on Cast Iron Cookware<\/h4>\n

 In order for an iron skillet to be used in baking, it needs to be seasoned. That takes time. And a story for another day about my using an iron skillet that was not seasoned. Lodge Cast Iron, a company that sells Cast Iron Cookware, has a great video and article <\/a>on seasoning and care of Cast Iron Cookware.<\/p>\n

Bed Bath and Beyond also has a great selection of Cast Iron Cookware. Check them out <\/a>. But also check with Flea Markets and Antique stores where you just might find some old cast iron skillets before I do!<\/p>\n

Gather Up Some Apples and Let's Start Cooking!<\/h4>\n

What You Need
\n6 cups thinly sliced apples (I used Gala)
\n2 tbsp. lemon juice
\n1\/4 cup water
\n1\/2 cup flour
\n1\/2 cup oats
\n1\/2 cup packed brown sugar
\n1\/2 cup softened butter
\n1\/2 tsp. salt
\n1 cup chopped walnuts<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Apple Crisp with Walnuts | Life at Spring Meadows | Gardening Living Creating<\/p><\/div>\n

Directions<\/h4>\n

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.<\/p>\n

Place apples slices in a 2 quart baking dish. Pour the water and lemon juice over the sliced apples and stir to coat the slices.<\/p>\n

In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, and salt. Stir to blend. Cut in butter until mixture is coarse crumbs. Mix in walnuts.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over apple slices, covering slices completely.<\/p>\n

Bake for 40 minutes until top is lightly browned.<\/p>\n

Serve warm with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top.<\/p>\n
