SO EASY AND TASTY APPLE STREUSEL



So Easy and Tasty Apple Streusel image

"Crisp fall apples, tossed in cinnamon and baked with delicious streusel. Almost as good as pie, with half the calories and it's in the oven in 10 minutes! Plus, it can be served warm with ice cream, and the smaller size means it won't be there to tempt you later. Enough for a small mini casserole dish that will serve 3-4 people. Double the recipe for an 8x8 pan, quadruple it for a 9x13 pan". Unless you double the batch and use a bigger pan, in which case, it's a great breakfast topping for oatmeal! Enjoy! Adapted from Penzey's spices and the intro is what they said about the recipe. A little history: In baking and pastry making, the term streusel (a German word meaning "something scattered or sprinkled", from the verb streuen, akin to the English verb 'strew') refers to a crumb topping of butter, flour, and white sugar (traditional German) that is baked on top of muffins, breads, and cakes (e.g. Streuselkuchen). Some modern recipes add various spices and occasionally chopped nutmeats. Although the topping is of German origin, it is sometimes referred to as Danish or Swedish.

FALL APPLE COBBLER WITH STREUSEL TOPPING



Fall Apple Cobbler With Streusel Topping image

I have been making this recipe for years, and it always results in someone asking me for the recipe. I often cut the recipe in half and make it for my family in an 8x8 pan. It serves nicely (not a gooey mess) and is great served warm with vanilla ice cream. A bonus - it's lower in fats and calories.

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

12 cups apples, peeled and sliced (Macintosh, Jonagold)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup oatmeal (I use Quick Oats)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Prepare 9x13 pan with non-stick spray; preheat oven to 350.
  • Prepare APPLES: toss sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch. Pour apple mixture into prepared pan. BAKE APPLES 10 minutes.
  • While apples are baking, combine STREUSEL ingredients; set aside.
  • Prepare BATTER: Mix batter dry ingredients in a bowl. When apples are done, whisk in milk and melted butter (batter will thicken if it sits). Immediately pour batter over hot apples; sprinkle streusel on top.
  • Return to oven; bake 40-45 minutes or until top is browned and apples are bubbling.
  • Notes: 1) This can also be made in two 8x8 pans. 2) When I bake in glass pans, I use 325 degrees. 3) I sometimes toss in 1/2 cup cranberries or raisins to the apple mixture.

Tips:

  • Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overmix the streusel topping. Overmixing will make the topping tough.

  • Serve the apple crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Apple crisp is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the best apple crisp you've ever tasted.
