Mama Moon’s Yankee Apple Crisp
This is one of my own recipes, it’s always changing hence the lack of measurements. The spices change too. Cinnamon is a must have but I will also use nutmeg, ginger, allspice or some of my favorite speculaaskruiden.
For the crisp topping, I sometime use ground nuts in the mixture, hazelnuts or walnuts are especially delicious.
Mama Moon’s Apple Crisp
apples, peeled, cored and sliced ( I used McIntosh and Cortland in the crisp in the photo)
lemon juice
ground cinnamon
ground mace
maple syrup, grade B is best
whole white wheat flour
old fashioned rolled oats
1/2c. unsalted butter, cubed
Toss sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and mace. Pour into a 9 x 13 x 2in casserole. add flour and oats into a bowl, work in butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal. pour over the top of apples, cover with aluminum foil and bake in a 350* oven until bubbly 40-45min (or longer if you like it mushy).
