It helps to keep the apple filling nice and moist. Just dice up a couple of tablespoons and toss it with the apple mixture. Oh, and I almost forgot, I also like to sneak in a couple pats of butter into the filling for extra richness. Everything is tossed together and nestled into a small baking dish. Peeled and sliced apples are tossed with plenty of brown sugar, a little bit of salt, cinnamon and few tablespoons of the homemade oat flour to soak up all the juices. When five ingredients is the name of the game, that means everything is super simple and easy, and that starts with the filling. I have to love really tasting the salt, so I always use a heavy hand. Salt is always essential in baking to balance out the sweetness in desserts. This of course, doesn’t count as an actual ingredient (rules of the internet). If I could get away with a sixth ingredient, I’d sneak in a little bit of ground nutmeg as well. Always cinnamon in fall-inspired apple desserts. Whatever you’ve got works! If you have to go buy something, get rolled oats.Ĭinnamon. Oats. Rolled oats are best for this, but, quick-cooking oats also work great. I always use unsalted butter so I can control the salt content. I love the molasses taste it has, and with only five ingredients, you really want as much complex flavor as possible.

Making a topping without the addition of oats is much easier than making one without flour, but I just can’t live without the texture oats bring to a crisp, so I set out to find a way to change up my go-to recipe.Īfter pondering it for a bit, I got the bright idea to MAKE my own flour using the oats. For me, the non-negtiables were apples of course, followed by butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. But in keeping with my minimalistic approach, I wanted to find a way to pair the ingredients down. Usually that requires a combination of sugar, butter and flour, and most of my crisp recipes (see here and here) are part oats (for texture), part flour (for crunch), part white sugar, and part brown sugar. The topping needs to be, as stated, crisp. Ok, so here’s the thing about apple crisps.

Granted, I absolutely look forward to my requisite pumpkin dessert of the season, but once I’ve had one, I’m pretty much good to go. (Hi apples slathered with peanut butter or dipped in gooey caramel.) And I love that they’re equally delicious raw or cooked. They don’t require you to use every muscle of your body to cut them open, scoop out the flesh and then cook the meat. Why is fall ALL about pumpkin?
