Apple Crisp Recipe (Apple Goodie)

Friends, today is the first day of my fall break from school, and although it just barely feels or looks like Fall, there are signs. Apples are a great price right now, for one. Once the weather starts to cool down, I can almost think of nothing else more comforting than some kind of sweet apple dessert. Well, last year when I went to visit my parents, I raided my mom’s recipe file and came upon the famous “apple goodie” I remembered from my youth.

I know there are more than enough recipes for apple crisps/goodies out there, but after making this one, I really do feel it’s better than most of the others I’ve had. It’s probably the butter. All I know is now that I have “mom’s recipe” I don’t plan to try any others for a long time. Feel free to make my mom’s recipe yours, too.

Apple Goodie Recipe

Ingredients:

For the filling:
4 cups sliced granny smith apples
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the topping:
1 stick of vegan butter, softened, not melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup oatmeal
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Filling: Mix the white sugar, a tablespoon of flour, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Layer a third of the apples in an 8×8 square baking dish. Sprinkle a third of the sugar over the apples. Repeat twice. Topping: Mix the brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Add the butter, using your hands to combine all ingredients together until crumbly. Sprinkle topping over the apples in an even layer. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
