National Apple Pie Day
What is your favorite? Good ole fashioned American? Want cheese with that? How about some ice cream? Whipped cream?
My favorite is actually Fruit Crisp, but I make mine completely differently from others
the topping:
1-2 cups of oatmeal (just gauge it)
tsp cinnamon
tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tbs of butter
2 tbs raisins
Stir all this together (dont cook the oatmeal!)
Filling:
either fresh apple slices or canned or frozen (or cherries, or peaches, or whatever fruit you want, only use pumpkin pie spice if doing apple or peaches)
1/4 cup brown sugar (or white for Cherry, blueberry, blackberry, etc)
cinnamon
pumpkin pie spice/nutmeg/cloves, whatever spice you feel like
2 tbs honey or agave
stir all but the honey together in large bowl, put into pan, pour honey over top, top with oatmeal mixture, and bake at 325-350 for 30 minutes. Really yummy with ice cream. Sometimes I will cook this at night, and then keep in fridge all night, and throw in the oven for breakfast.
