Old Fashioned Apple Crisp - Ina Garten


Ina Fridays yields pure deliciousness and her apple crisp is just another example of this.  I have already baked a yummy chocolate cake and could sit back and relax as far as my commitment to the Ina Friday group.  Who says that we should only cook Ina recipes once a month when they are so good.

 I did make a few changes to this recipe.  I had a container from Costco with five pounds of apples which consisted of 12 apples.  That is an awful lot of apples.  While that is what Ina asked for, I cut it back to 7 apples which more than filled the pan. 

  I did forget the two zests.  I love zesting, particularly oranges because of the fragrance and was delighted this was called for in this dish.  I put the zest in a small glass bowl and just didn't see it when I was putting together all the components.  Silly me.

 I don't have gluten-free oatmeal so I took my rolled oats and grinded them in my mini food processor.  Instead of butter, I used oil.

 Now for the crisp.

Old-Fashioned Apple Crisp (Serves 10)  adapted from Barefoot Contessa Parties! 

Ingredients:

5 pounds Gala apples
Grated zest of 1 orange (I forgot to put in the zest for both fruits)
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the topping:
1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour mixture
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup oatmeal
1/3 cup oil

Method:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 x 2-inch rectangular baking pan.

Peel, core, and cut the apples into large wedges. Combine the apples with the zests, juices, sugar, and spices. Pour into the baking pan.

To make the topping, combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and oil in a bowl  and mix with hand or mixer until crumbly.  Scatter evenly over the apples.

Place the crisp on a sheet pan and bake for one hour until the top is brown and the apples are bubbly. Serve warm.

Eat and enjoy!

    I almost made this but decided against it since I recently posted an apple recipe. I love crisps as does Ina. They are so much easier than pies! Looks good!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
