Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups store-bought oat granola, such as Bear Naked Maple Pecan
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup sugar
5 crisp apples, such as Fuji or Gala (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

APPLE GRANOLA CRISP

I have a bunch of granola and apples and I did not want to use all kinds of butter making an apple pie crust then an apple pie. So I found an Apple Crisp Recipe that I liked and I changed it to use up the granola I have. I have come up with this technique for making a soft granola apple crisp and now I can make a crisp using...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 apples, i use 1 red, 1 golden, & 2 granny for this recipe
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c water
1/2 c granola any flavor
1/2 c flour
1/2 c brown sugar
1/8 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/4 c melted butter
3 Tbsp flour **use only if topping is not crumbly

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees and peel and core apples then slice into slices. Put into a stainless steel bowl.
  • 2. Mix in a bowl white sugar and 1 tbsp. flour and cinnamon together.
  • 3. Now add the granola and mix. Then add the water and mix again to get the granola wet so it can start absorbing the liquid.
  • 4. Add the granola mixture to the apples and mix thoroughly. Put into a 1 1/2 qt casserole dish.
  • 5. In another bowl Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter. Use your hand and mix it together to make a crumble topping that falls apart. **Note: You will need to add additional tbsps. of flour if it is not falling apart and is not crumbly. I had to add 3 more tablespoons of flour when making this recipe.***
  • 6. Sprinkle the mixture over the apple-granola mixture. Cover the entire area.
  • 7. Bake at 350 degrees. For 45 min or until desired tenderness.
  • 8. Tips: When using granola that contains nuts pick out the nuts and chop or mince them then add to the mixture. Mine contained Almonds and Walnuts. It all depends on how crunchy you want your apple granola crisp. I wanted a soft granola apple crisp so I also made the recipe different than a traditional crisp by adding the oats to the apples so they would soften up during cooking.
  • 9. Serve by itself or with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy! After making this I was impressed how the granola came out it was tender not hard or soggy. Since I like granola so much I am going to increase the amount to 1 cup. Plus some water. *Note there are different types of baked granola. I used crispy baked and that is a hard granola. There is also a soft baked granola and it is soft when you squeeze it in the bag. If I were to use the soft baked granola I would add it to the crumbled topping mixture and top the apples with that mixture when making the dessert.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples for a complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core the apples: This will help the apples cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Use a combination of oats and flour: This will give the crisp a crispy topping and a tender interior.
  • Add some nuts and seeds: This will add flavor and crunch to the crisp.
  • Don't overmix the topping: Overmixing will make the topping tough.
  • Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender: This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Serve the crisp warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream: This is the perfect way to enjoy this classic dessert.

Conclusion:

Apple granola crisp is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart apples, crunchy topping, and creamy ice cream or whipped cream, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this apple granola crisp a try. You won't be disappointed!
