Apple crisp with granola? Awesome!

My fave to bake with are macs.

the honey crisps that i used today, stayed partially firm and some of it (maybe the thinner slices) melted down to applesauce texture.

Like to use staymans or granny smith. but if i want apple crisp, I use whatever apple I have in the house. your recipe sounds delicious. so what kind of wine are you having? :)

d d. Oct 19, 2009, 9:04pm UTC

i never heard of "staymans" i'll have to go check it out.

I used the rhyming "wine" ... you can have any type of wine... maybe a white wine? my wine of choice is "water"

Sounds yummy! I usually use McIntosh or Granny Smith apples for everything. I like the tartness.

d d. Oct 19, 2009, 9:06pm UTC

good to know... i didn't know if I should use Macs or the granny smith's that i bought for the apple cake.

☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 19, 2009, 9:10pm UTC

I used macs when I made that apple cake.

Ruthi C. Oct 19, 2009, 9:20pm UTC

I would use the Macs too :-)

My favorite for baked apples when I was a kid was Wolf River. Still is, and fortunately we have a Wolf River tree. It's an oldie but makes great baked apples.

d d. Oct 19, 2009, 9:08pm UTC

I will have to see if our local farm carries "wolf River". I love how there are different apple varieties in different locations.

JOHN BECK Oct 19, 2009, 9:18pm UTC

They were very hard to find for a long time. I think they dropped from popularity because they're not an especially attractive apple. But like heirloom tomatoes, people started clamoring for some of their old favorites.

Granny Smith's or Golden Delicious

d d. Oct 20, 2009, 7:22am UTC

thanks dianna, i've never made anything with golden delicious.

Dianna Doles-Petry Oct 20, 2009, 2:17pm UTC

They are quite plentiful here so I've learned to use them in a lot of things. One of the dishes my children always loved for breakfast was fried apples. They aren't really fried, they are peeled, place in a pot with some brown sugar, some butter, and a sprinkling of cinnamon and left to simmer a bit. Pancakes take on a whole new taste with those spread over the top.

d d. Oct 20, 2009, 4:00pm UTC

my son would love that. i will have to look for those in the store.

Dianna Doles-Petry Oct 20, 2009, 10:55pm UTC

I'm sure he would. You can buy fried apples in the can too. They're found close to the canned pie fruit. I just add extra sugar and butter to those and they're awesome!

d d. Oct 21, 2009, 7:26am UTC

dianna...now, i've never ever have seen that in a can "fried apples" in a can. will have to see if our local grocery store carries it.

ooh think I will make my own granola then bake my spare apples in it. I bought a couple of bags - total 4 pounds of apples a couple of weeks ago.... forget which type... but ... I love Fall food the best of any season's....

Maybe I will even mull some cider... and press my own apples in a blender....

d d. Oct 20, 2009, 7:57am UTC

oooo, sounds tasty and heavenly.

if my blender still works, I spilled soup in the mechanism last week... I will test it, otherwise, I have to buy a new one...

Featured in the Triple Name Club.

d d. Oct 20, 2009, 7:58am UTC

it should work. hopefully it wasn't a chunky soup.

my favorite blender soup base is carrot. from there I make this delicious curried crabmeat, like the soup Natzi on Seinfeld. :)
