Apple Crisp/Crumble recipe

     This recipe is absolutly delicious. I found it and made my adjustments. I made it for my youth group and they loved it. I hope you enjoy:

Topping:
1/2 cup (65 grams)           all purpose flour
1/4 cup (50 grams)           granulated white sugar
1/4 cup (55 grams)           light brown sugar
1/2 tsp.                            Ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp.                            Fresh or ground nutmeg (optional)
1/8 tsp.                            Salt
6 tbsp. (84 grams)           cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/3 cup (30 grams)          old-fashioned rolled oats
Filling:
2 1/2 pounds (1.2 kg)      Apples; Preferably Gala (Peeled, cored, and cut into 1 inch chunks)
2 tsp.                               Lemon juice
3 tbsp. (40 grams)           white granulated sugar

     Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and place rack in the center of the oven. Butter or spray with a cooking spray, a 9 inch (23 cm) deep dish pie plate or an 8 x 8 x 2 inch (20 x 20 x 5 cm) baking dish. (Can also make 8 individual ramekins.) Set aside.
     For Topping: Place all the topping ingredients (flour, sugars, spices, butter, oats and nuts) in a bowl and work in with a fork (looks like coarse meal) and there are no large pieces of butter visible. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
     For Filling: Place the apple chunks in a large bowl. Toss with the lemon juice and sugar. Transfer to your prepared baking dish. Spread the topping evenly over the apples.
     Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes (20 - 25 minutes for individual ramekins) or until bubbly, and the topping is golden brown. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 30 minutes before serving.
     Serve with softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Refrigerate leftovers and reheat before serving.
     Makes 4 servings.

Todays Tid-Bit

     Here is a little Tid-Bit for today...it's not much but it should do. I personally think this is a good piece of advise.
     When shopping for oatmeal, go to super store. Get the no-name brand of rolled oats. It is absolutly apperent that you get rolled oats, not quick cooking ones. Let me tell you why...
     The quick cooking oats are good if your making oatmeal, so if thats all your making then disregard this post. But if you are planning on putting them in baking then the rolled oats are the best option. They have better texture, and use the moisture and sugar to your benefit. Unfortunatly they don't taste the same when making oatmeal...but that can be easily fixed. Before making oatmeal, use a food processor and grind up the rolled oats a little. (Ps. thats pretty much what the companys do to make quick cooking oats) This way everyones happy. Also you have a better tasting recipe, you buy only one kind of oatmeal, and you save money if you get the no-name brand one at superstore. Happy shopping :)
