Maple Apple Crisp

(makes 8 servings)

Ingredients:

  • 5 apples ( we recommend Granny Smith, Fuji, Winesap, Honeycrisp, Crispin or Pink Lady) – peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup (Grade B or Grade A medium or dark amber)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Place apples in an 8×8 inch baking dish. Toss apples with maple syrup. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, oats, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle mixture evenly over apples.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, until topping is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
