With fall comes all things apples, and the markets have apples galore to choose from for you cooking and baking desires. If you are like me and love a good fruit crisp but need to watch what you eat this recipe is great. This recipe has the addition of warming spices to make it very comforting. Be prepared this is not a runny fruit crisp which threw me a bit, but it tastes very good.
For the topping:
3/4 C old fashioned oats
1/4 C whole wheat flour
1 tsp group cinnamon
2 TBSP maple syrup
1.5 TBSP butter
For the filling:
6 C diced red apples
2 TBSP cornstarch
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp Chai seasoning or (1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cardamom, 1/8 tsp ground clove)
The recipe:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat 8" pan with nonstick spray.
Prepare the streusel topping. Whisk together the oats, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in the maple syrup and butter melted. Stir until fully incorporated.
Prepare the filling. Toss the apples with the cornstarch and spices until completely coated.
Transfer the filling to the baking dish and gently press down with a spatula. Sprinkle evenly with the topping and break up any clumped pieces.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until apples are fork tender.
Cool completely to room temperature then refrigerate for 3 hours before serving to allow the juices to fully thicken. (I may have not let it refrigerate long enough)
