Honey apple crisp ~ Yum!

Today I thought I'd share a favorite desert. It's based on a recipe for Apple Goodie my aunt once made when we went to her house for desert and games and I've tweaked it to make it my own.

When I was growing up my mom only cooked with honey. Now, I can't stand the taste of honey on it's own but add some apples, cinnamon and oats and it makes a awesome Apple Crisp. Add some caramel and whip cream or vanilla ice cream and it tastes like heaven. This recipe doesn't need to be adjusted - this is the recipe I personally use when making Honey Apple Crisp.

There are a couple things to remember when cooking with honey.
1) Lower the oven temperature 25 degrees
2) Use half the amount of the sugar in a recipe if you are using sugar. So, if the recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar then use a 1/2 cup of honey. Simple.

Honey Apple Crisp
3 cups apples, sliced (I don't peel it but you can if you want)
1/2 cup honey
1 Tb flour
1 tsp cinnamon (or to taste)

Mix together and put into a 9x9" pan.

Topping:
3/4 cup oatmeal
3/4 cup flour
1/2-3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup melted butter (or margarine)

Mix together completely and crumble over the apple mixture in the pan.

Bake at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

This recipe is pretty sweet and rich. If you'd like to adjust the amount of sugar feel free to. This has already been adjusted as it had a LOT of sugar to start with and this is less than 1/2 of what was originally called for.

Enjoy!
