Granny Smith Crisp
A fruit crisp is a tasty and sweet dessert made with baked fruit as the bottom topped with a crumbly topping. There usually is no crust. A typical crisp combines a variety of ingredients, which include brown sugar, oatmeal and nuts that are mixed with the butter, flour and cinnamon to create a granular topping that is spread over the baked fruit. Apple crisp is one of the most commonly prepared crisps and one that can be served cold or warm - although most prefer it served warm.
Ingredients:
5 cups Granny Smith apples, pared, cored, and sliced
1/2 - 3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Streusel Topping
Streusel Topping:

Directions:

Sprinkle with Streusel Topping.
Bake at 350 degrees 35 to 40 minutes.

Serving suggestion: This sweet dessert is given a grand finale with a dollop of light or even fat free Cool Whip. If you freeze the Cool Whip first, it's almost like topping it with ice cream!
