LeslieSGI said:I gotta beat the drum for Mom's Apple Crisp from ALL THE BEST - you won't believe how good it is; and it is made entirely from wholesome (i.e., non-manufactured) ingredients, too. If you don't have the AP/C/S, don't let that stop you. User the wedger and then cut each wedge in half lengthwise - that works, too. An if you are a fan of fiber, scrub your apples and leave the peel on before wedging. Also, you can substitute Cinnamon Plus for the cinnamon and nutmeg. Substitute any baking apples for the Granny Smith. Try it you'll love it.
MOM’S APPLE CRISP
• 6 Granny Smith apples (about 8 cups slices; 3 lbs.)
• 8 graham crackers (2 1/2 by 5 inches), coarsely chopped
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup quick or old-fashioned oats
• 1 t. cinnamon
• 1/2 t. nutmeg
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
1. Peel, core and slice apples using Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer. Cut apples in half; place in Deep Covered Baker.
2. Coarsely chop graham crackers using Food Chopper; place in Classic Batter Bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, oats and cinnamon; mix well. Place butter in Small Micro-Cooker®; Microwave on HIGH 1 minute or until melted. Add butter to dry ingredients; mix well.
3. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over apples. Microwave uncovered on HIGH 14-16 minutes or until apples are tender. Cool slightly. Serve Warm topped with ice cream, if desired.
Yield: 10 servings.
NOTE: If microwave does not have a turntable, rotate the baker after 8 minutes of cooking.

The DCB, or Deep Covered Baker, is a versatile stoneware baking dish from Pampered Chef designed for microwave and oven use. It helps retain moisture and heat, making it ideal for baking desserts like Apple Cherry Crisp. You can layer ingredients directly in the DCB and bake them to perfection, resulting in a delicious and evenly cooked dessert.
Yes, you can use fresh fruits instead of canned for the Apple Cherry Crisp recipe. Just make sure to adjust the sugar and cooking time as fresh fruits may have different moisture levels and sweetness compared to canned fruits. Fresh apples and cherries will provide a vibrant flavor and texture to your crisp.
The baking time for the Apple Cherry Crisp in the DCB typically ranges from 30 to 40 minutes, depending on your oven and the ripeness of the fruit. It’s important to check for a bubbly filling and a golden-brown topping to ensure it’s fully cooked.
Yes, you can prepare the Apple Cherry Crisp ahead of time. You can assemble the ingredients in the DCB and cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, then refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if you bake it straight from the refrigerator.
There are many delicious variations you can try with the Apple Cherry Crisp recipe! You can substitute different fruits like peaches, blueberries, or mixed berries. Additionally, you can add nuts, oats, or spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to the topping for extra flavor and texture. Experimenting with different combinations can lead to delightful new desserts!
