Hi Apple Crisp Lovers . . .

6 to 8 apples, sliced                 Put slices apples in buttered 9x13" pan.
1/2 C. raisins(optional)              Sprinkle with raisins and water.  Combine
1/3 C. water                          the rest of the ingredients.  Sprinkle 
1 C. rolled oats                      evenly over apples.  Bake at 350 for
1/2 C. whole wheat or rye flour       30-40 minutes, or until apples or soft.
1/2 C. Wheat germ                     Serve warm or cold, plain or with a
1/2 C. butter or oil                  topping.
1/2 C. brown sugar or honey
2 t. cinnamon

Topping:
  Milk, yogurt or vanilla ice cream

Variation:
  Substitue 3 to 4 C. chopped rhubarb for the apple slices



I've never been much of a whole wheat and wheat germ fan,
but this is GOOD stuff!!!!


Enjoy!!

Another good variation of either recipie is to use pears instead of apples.
Sometimes I use a combination of both.  Try it you'll love it!

    I always keep the ingredients for this quick & easy Apple Crisp
    on hand for those unexpected visits.  It's so easy I feel like
    I'm cheating whenever I make it.
    
    Ingredients
    -----------
    1 Can Apple Pie Filling
    2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
    1 Stick (1/4 lb.) Butter or Margarine
    1 Box Jiffy Brand Yellow Cake Mix (Small Single Layer Box)
    
    Mix the pie filling and cinnamon (adjust quantity of cinnamon
    based on your personal taste) and spread in a pie plate.
    Sprinkle box of cake mix (dry) over mixture.  Slice butter in
    pats and place all over the top.  Bake until golden brown and
    crispy on top.
    
    Fantastic served hot with vanilla ice cream.
    
    I've been planning to modify this and try it with various
    pie fillings (cherry, blueberry, etc.) but haven't yet.
    I suspect they'd be equally good.
    
    Enjoy!

    Try it with Peach filling.  It's wonderful.

    what temperature do you bake it?

    Sorry 'bout that...I always use 350F.  It takes quite a while to
    cook (guestimate almost 1 hr).  Be sure to let it get golden brown
    or it could tend to be a bit soggy instead of chewy/crispy.

    Another variation on the first recipe is to use Quaker's 100% Natural
    Cereal with the cinnamon and other spices and butter.  It makes
    a really crunchy crust!  I always use more spices than most recipes
    call for because I like the extra zing they add.
    

    A neighbor brought this apple crisp over last weekend, and was kind
    enough to share the recipe.  I've already made it twice in the last
    week (it doesn't last very long in my house).  Thought someone else
    might enjoy it.
    
    4 cups apples, pared and sliced
    2 tbls lemon juice (optional)
    1/2 stick butter
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1/2 cup flour
    1 tsp cinnamon
    
    Preheat oven to 375.
    Place the apples in a 9 inch pie plate or dish (I've used both a
    9x9 dish and a 9x13 dish with more apples, but the same amount of
    topping).  Add lemon juice to apples and turn to coat.
    
    Mix rest of ingredients, and work lightly with pastry blender or
    fingertips til crumbly.  Mix lightly so that it doesn't become oily.
    Spread mixture over top of apples.
    
    Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes or until apples are tender.  Great
    served warm with vanilla ice cream.
    

    Does apple crisp freeze well?
    

They sell unbaked frozen apple crisp at Flat Hill Orchards in Lunenburg, Ma.
If you bake it first, then freeze, you'll probably end up with apple soggy
instead of apple crisp.
