I have been reading SO many amazing blog posts about all the wonderful things people are doing with apples. Apples are EVERYWHERE this time of year and I LOVE it! I only like to eat apples when they are fresh and really crisp and we have a couple of apples in our drawer that are lacking in both of those areas.
- 2 honeycrisp apples (or any apples in your drawer really)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk (I used 1%)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cold butter
- Preheat oven to 375.
Chop apples and combine with 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar in a small baking dish or muffin tray.
In a separate bowl, stir flour, sugar and remaining cinnamon. Chop 1 tablespoon of butter and add it to flour. Mash with a fork until thoroughly combined and small bits of butter remain. Add vanilla and milk gradually, stiring as you go. You don’t want the mix to be watery or too thick. It should be somewhat sticky.
Spread dough on top of apples, and place in over. Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes, or until apples look juicy and topping is golden brown.
Enjoy this recipe – I will be making it a couple (or more) times in the future. It just warms you right up inside! (Sorry for the terrible picture I have been really lazy about taking them and have been using my BlackBerry!)

This sounds really good… The great thing about using naturally sweet seasonal ingredients is that you can let them speak for themselves, aka tone down the sugar and butter! You might be interested in my latest posting on a really delicious apple cake!
Apple crisps are the best. This recipe sounds delicious.
