Ooey Gooey Apple Crisp


The final item I whipped up for our autumnal dinner this past Friday was an apple crisp. I basically kinda mutatedly fused the cinnamon apple crisp recipe and the apple crisp recipe from the PPK with excellent results.

I have yet to purchase a small baking dish/casserole dish (yes, I am cheap, and stupid, and really just need to suck it up and buy one already), so I ended up just baking the crisp in a loaf-pan. But it still came out gooey and cinnamony and caramely and sweet. So apparently size and shape DON'T matter all that much! Baha. Uh yeah. *Straightening out necktie*

INGREDIENTS:

For the apple part:
  • 5-6 apples, sliced in 1/4-inch slices or so

  • 1 T. cornstarch

  • 2 t. cinnamon

  • 1/8 t. nutmeg

  • 1/8 t. allspice

  • 1/16 t. cloves

  • 1/2 c. brown sugar + 1/2 c. water

For the crisp part:
  • 1/2 c. oats

  • 1/2 c. flour

  • 1/2 c. brown sugar

  • 1/4 t. baking powder

  • 1/4 t. cinnamon

  • 1/6 c. canola oil (or 1/2 of a 1/3 measuring cup)

  • 1.5 T. soy milk

  • 1/2 t. vanilla

  • 1/8 t. salt

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to about 375. Mix together everything for the apple part except for the apples. Place the apples in your bread-loaf pan and then drizzle the mixture all over the apples. In a separate bowl, mix together everything for the crisp part. Sprinkle this mixture on top of your apples. Cover with tin foil--bake for 10 minutes. Remove tin foil and bake for another 20-30 minutes. Serve with soy ice cream.
