abnormally attracted to apple crisp

This past weekend, my sister and I spotted this recipe on smittenkitchen.com and decided to try it out with a few tweaks. This apple crisp granola is relatively easy to make and delicious in the morning. The real labor is in peeling all of the apples and decoring them. After that, it's pretty smooth sailing.





Materials :
→ 9x13 baking pan
→ your favorite mixing spoon
→ Abnormally Attracted to Sin cd by Tori Amos



Ingredients :

2-3 lbs apples ( peeled, cored, and cut into chunks )
2 tbsp. lemon juice
3 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch or 4 tbsp. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
pinch of salt



( this part is for the granola )
1 cup butter
1 cup flour
4 cups oats
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup honey
pinch of salt

Directions

1. Peel, core, and cut your apples into chunks.





2. Mix apple chunks with lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch ( or flour! ), cinnamon, and salt in 9x13 baking pan until apples are evenly coated.



3. In a bowl combine flour, oats, almonds, and a pinch of salt. Give it a few quick turns with a spoon. Set aside.

4. In a saucepan, melt the butter and honey. Dump in the bowl's contents and sit in until clumps form. Basically, you won't be able to stir anymore as much as just shift around mush with your spoon.

5. Evenly spread over apple mixture as best as you can. ( My sister used a fork to sort of twist into the granola and spread it. )



6. Stick in the oven for 45-55 minutes. About 25 minutes after, you may want to cover with foil so the granola doesn't overbrown and stays crunchy.



7. Cool to room temperature. Serve with a scoop of plain yogurt. You can also put this dish in the fridge and eat it in the morning, cold with yogurt.
