This is a fantastic, “old school” recipe from my grandma!  You can eat it plain or use either a cream cheese based frosting or a maple based frosting.  Other topping alternative:  1/3 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamin, mix together and sprinkle over top of cake prior to baking.

Apple Crisp

April 20th, 2011 / Tags: , / Categories: Desserts, Recipe / No Comments »
Submitted by:  Colleen and Jeff Prentiss   (this recipe originated by Nancy Plunkett)
10 cups sliced apples (peeled and seeded)
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Mis well and place in a 9 x 13 baking pan.  (glass pan works great)
Topping:
2 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 cups oatmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup butter, softened.
Mix well and sprinkle/spread over top of apples.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
***Note:  this apple crisp is delicious and fresh.  Use your favorite apples.  I use either Granny Smith or a nice Red Apple.  The firmer the apple, the better it stands up to baking.   Do not use a soft textured apple.   Serve it up with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream……..delicious!!!

Frostsing:

1 (15 oz) can crushed pineapple
8 oz. cool whip
Mix together and spread over cake.  Refrigerate overnight. 
**Note:  you can also add some of the crushed pineapple into the cake batter, about 1/4 cup, makes cake very moist.  On top of the frosted cake, you could also sprinkle shredded coconut and slivered almonds.   This gives the cake a more “tropical” feeling and taste!!     Very good cake, enjoy!
