When the days begin to get cooler after a long hot summer, it is time to start baking again. One fun desert that is also tasty and easy to prepare is an apple crisp. Of course you will need to find an apple crisp recipe. There is a simple one included at the end of this article.

Apple crisps are one of several simple yet delicious baked deserts that use the fruits of the season and pastry toppings. If you want to try other similar deserts, look for recipes for Brown Bettys, Pandowdies, Crumbles, Cobblers or Grunts. These home-style deserts can be great comfort foods. In fact, you may find them difficult to resist. The topping on an apple crisp is a mixture the is much like that of a streusel. The topping will normally contain butter, flour sugar, oatmeal and nuts. There are also some spices to mix in which will complement the apples or other fruit that may be used.

This topping makes the crispy, crumbly topping from which the desert gets its name.

Fortunately, the time that our taste buds begin to long for deserts like apple crisps is just the time that they are starting to arrive fresh in the markets. Freshly harvested apples make the best deserts. Choose a good tart cooking apple such as a Granny Smith for your apple crisp. Feel free to add other fruits that would complement the apples, such as raspberries or cranberries. In Great Brittan, a favorite addition is Blackberries. Serve your freshly baked apple crisp warm topped with ice cream.

If your apple crisp recipe calls for old fashioned rolled oats, do not substitute quick cooking oats. Quick cooking oats are cut then steamed and rolled. Old fashioned oats are steamed and rolled while whole. This gives them a much nuttier flavor and the apple crisp topping a much better texture.

To prepare oats into oatmeal, the oats are steamed and rolled flat. Quick cooking oats are cut before the process begins and rolled thinner to cook more quickly. Oatmeal has been shown to help to lower cholesterol. When added with the apples, it is a good way to get fiber into your system.

For an easy apple crisp, start by greasing a 9×12 inch cake pan. Peel, core and slice 4 medium sized Granny Smith apples. The slices should be thin. Add the apple slices to the baking pan and top with the following apple crisp topping.

For the topping you will want to mix three quarters cup of brown sugar with one half cup each of flour and old fashioned oats. Add one third cup of margarine along with cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Mix the topping until combined and crumble over the top of the apples.

The apple crisp should bake for half an hour in a 375 degree oven that has been preheated or until the apples are tender.

Serve your desert warm fresh out of the oven. Top with one scoop of ice cream. If you have leftovers, they can be eaten cold or warmed for thirty seconds in the microwave oven.
