I am making easy apple crisp today that is ready in 30 minutes. What happens when you are suddenly free after finishing a project? For me, I immediately get back to my neglected baby, my blog. When I got up this morning, I was starving and didn’t want to have usual breakfast. Idea – make something for breakfast and blog and yes quick, remember I was starving? I had saved the recipe of Apple Crisp yesterday while performing my daily ritual – Tastespotting. Its addictive man. I loved Dawn’s presentation and decided to try this out.
What’s the difference between apple crisp and apple crumble?
Most crisps and crumbles are pretty straightforward and can go with any seasonal fruits like pears, peaches, cherries etc. The only difference is of oats in crisp while crumble doesn’t have oats. I like mine with apples especially when they have been lying around for a while and no one was eating them. Best served warm with a dollop of fresh cream or with ice-cream for a more formal dessert.
Are Gala Apples good for Crisps?
I have always used Gala apples with skin and it turns out perfect. They are sweet enough such that it doesn’t require any additional sweetness in the apple layer.
Here is how to old fashioned apple crisp from scratch:
