Tasty Thursdays: Apple Crisp

Since starting this week, I'm branching out to desserts other than just drinks, I'm beginning with the Apple Crisp. There are many ways to make this dish, but I am sharing the recipe from the Food Network.

You'll need the following for the filling:

• 5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, chopped small
• 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

And for the topping:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into pieces
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all the ingredients together. Place into 7 to 8-ounce ramekins.

Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in large bowl. Blend the butter into the mixture until it forms pea size lumps. Stir in pecans and sprinkle over filling.

Bake crisps for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
