VeganMoFo, Day 13: Apple Oat Crisp
October 13th, 2008 7:07 pm by Kelly
Today I made some yummy
mixed berry applesauce (raspberries, blackberries and blueberries, oh my!) for
fruit leather. Since I was already up to my elbows in apples and apple peels, I decided to try
this apple crisp recipe from allrecipes.com.
I modified the recipe a bit, with the intention of cutting out a little of the extra fat and sugar. Overall, I'm happy with how it came out, but next time 'round I think I might try making the topping into a crust and layering the apples on top, so it crisps up a bit more. Also, because all the spices went into the "crisp" part of the mix, the apples themselves are on the boring side. Before you top them off with the crisp mix, I'd recommend tossing the apples with some spices - cinnamon, cloves, maybe some allspice. Can't hurt, right?
Apple Oat Crisp
Ingredients
10 apples, diced
1 cup rolled oats
2 cups Bisquick (or veg*n all-purpose baking mix)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup margarine, melted
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Prepare apples and use them to line a baking dish (9x9 or larger). If you need more apples to fill the dish, go for it!
3. In a bowl, mix together oats, Bisquick, sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Stir in applesauce and vanilla and sprinkle crumble mixture over apples.
4. Drizzle melted butter evenly over topping. [I used Blue Bonnet Light Margarine, which comes in sticks. Rather than dirty *another* bowl, I sliced thin "pats" of margarine off the stick and plopped them on top of the crisp. I used slightly less than 1/2 cups in order to cut calories.]
5. Bake in preheated oven 45 minutes, until apples are tender and top is golden.
Like I said, I'd like to try this recipe using the Bisquick crumble as a sort of crust, which means I'll probably have to grease up the pan first. Also, I used more apples than the original recipe called for, but I think this dish could stand even more. Apples rock, yo!
Other than that, any suggestions?
