Baked Apples Audrey
Doug Roese / Lakewinds Natural Foods
Much easier than apple pie, yet just as delicious. It's warm, fragrant, and lovely topped with a little vanilla ice cream!
Yield: 1- 9" pan
Ingredients
Filling:
2 pounds baking apples, peeled, cored, halved and sliced 1/4 " thick
(ask our produce team for this weeks best apple variety)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, mix all the filling ingredients until apples are evenly coated. Pour into a 9" round pie or cake pan. Pat down the apples so the top is fairly level (makes for a nicer crust). In the same bowl, mix all the topping ingredients with your fingers just until it starts clumping together, yet still crumbly. Sprinkle evenly on top of apples, and bake in the middle of oven for approximately one hour, until golden brown and bubbly.
