Paula Deen Apple Crisp Food

THE BEST APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• For the filling: Whisk together the brown sugar, flour, apple cider, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Peel and core the apples and cut into chunks. Add the apples to the brown sugar mixture and toss to combine.
• Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
• For the topping: Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter cubes and use your fingers to completely work the butter into the flour mixture. The mixture should hold its shape when squeezed.
• Sprinkle the crumble topping over the filling, squeezing some of the mixture into small clumps. Bake until the filling is bubbly, the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown, about 1 hour.
• Let sit for at least 45 minutes and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients for the apple mixture in a bowl.
• In another bowl, cut the butter into the flour and stir in the remaining topping ingredients.
• Spray the interior of a camp Dutch oven with cooking spray or wipe with vegetable oil. Spread the apple mixture in the bottom of the camp Dutch oven. Top with the topping mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F by placing 8 coals under the camp Dutch oven and 16 coals on top of the lid. Continue cooking until the apples are cooked and the topping is brown. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

GO-TO APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• To make the topping, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, pecans, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Stir while drizzling in the melted butter, then set aside.
• Pour the apple pie filling into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spoon the topping evenly over the top.
• Bake until golden and crisp, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

CRUNCH TOP APPLE PIE (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Line a 9-inch pie pan with half of the dough.
• Toss apples with 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl.
• Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Pour over apples and toss. Stir in applesauce. Spoon this mixture into pie pan and dot with butter.
• Cut remaining crust into strips; using every other one arrange over top of pie. Lattice in remaining strips (going the other direction, crossing over and under every other strip).
• For crunch topping, combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter with a fork until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of crust.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and continue to bake for about 45 minutes, or until crust and topping are golden brown. (My pie with golden delicious apples was done after 30 minutes at this step, so watch your pie!).
• Note: It helps to make a foil ring to put around pie crust edge to keep it from browning too fast.
