Nothing says fall to me like apple crisp. We've tried a lot of versions, but we absolutely love it made with maple sugar. When I heard Flahavan's was sponsoring, I immediately thought about how great their Irish Oatmeal would be mixed into the topping.
I like to keep the apples pretty simple, just some spices and a little vanilla. Depending on the variety of apple you use, you can add a tablespoon of sugar also. I like to slice the apples, but cubed up works too, just adjust the baking time. You want the apples to be soft, but still hold their shape. If the topping is browing too quickly, just cover it with some foil.
The guys like theirs with vanilla bean ice cream. Sometimes I'll top mine with a bit of whipped cream. It's great both room temperature, or warmed up. And since there's fruit and oats, I definitely think you can eat it for breakfast guilt free!

A little vanilla makes a world of difference! This looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMaple and Apples is such a great flavor profile. This looks and sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeletelooks delish! Thank you for sharing at our apple celebration of Celebrate 365 Blog Party!
ReplyDeleteI also usually avoid adding sugar to the apples, when I make apple crisp. Fresh apples are so sweet, they really don't need extra.
ReplyDeleteBut I do love your addition of maple flavors to a classic crisp recipe. I'm going to need to try that some time!
