Ingredients
Scale
- 7 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 7 apples)
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice or (1 tablespoon bottled concentrate)
- finely grated lemon peel from 1/2 of lemon (opt)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water or apple cider
- 1 package (9 ounces) yellow cake mix
- 3/4 cup quick or old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (opt)
- vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream
Instructions
- Place apples in a greased 2-1/2 qt. shallow baking dish. Squeeze 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice over the top of the apples. This prevents the apples from browning. Grate lemon peel over the apples if desired from 1/2 of your lemon. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt; sprinkle over the apples and mix around with a spatula. Drizzle with water. Set aside while you prepare the crisp.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oats, butter, baking powder and baking soda and nuts. Use a fork or your fingers to combine until mixture is pea size chunks. Sprinkle over the apples. (To make large crumbles over the apples, grab a large handful of the crisp mixture, in the palm of your hand and squeeze tightly. Let large pieces of the crisp break away over the top of the apples.)
- Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown.
- Serve warm with ice cream or Whipped cream.
- Yield: 8 servings
