It's time for Secret Recipe Club again! Each month, we're assigned another blogger to select a recipe from. This month, I got Secrets from the Cookie Princess. Initially, I was a bit nervous since we don't usually make or eat cookies. However, looking through the recipe selection, I saw things like chicken corn chili, lemon bars, and one of the few cookies we do eat, Oreos. Ultimately, I chose to make the apple crisp. Overall, we liked the flavors of the crisp. I used a Pink Lady and a Granny Smith apple since we like those flavors. If I make this Apple Crisp again, I'd definitely chop the apples much smaller and make a lot more topping. (Changes reflected in the materials chart but not images.) Chopping the apples into smaller pieces allows for more appley goodness in every bite. I used a bit more than half the topping called for when I made a third of the actual filling, and both James and I wanted significantly more crust. Even using a third of the apples called for in the original recipe, we had enough apples for two 8 x 5 inch baking containers. I think it would all fit into one with smaller apple pieces. However, since I had enough for two, I decided to try both the methods mentioned and see if we could compare Colleen's experiences with baking and microwaving, and I have to say, we definitely liked the crispy baked edges better. :)

How do you like to serve your apple crisp? We like hot and fresh out of the oven, sometimes with some ice cream.

Materials:

Mass	Weight	Volume	Number	Material	Notes
511 grams	18 ounces		2	apples, chopped	I used a Pink Lady and a Granny Smith. I sliced each apple into 20 slices, but I would recommend actually chopping them up.

42 grams	1.5 ounces	1/4 cup		brown sugar
40 grams	1.5 ounces	1/2 cup		oatmeal
		1/8 cup		butter, at ambient temperature

Methods:

1. Gather all materials.
2. Sprinkle cinnamon over apples and shake to cover all surfaces. I'd recommend chopping the apples instead of using slices as shown.
3. Mash together flour, brown sugar, oatmeal, and butter. I just used a fork.
4. Layer apples and then topping in a baking container. Bake at 350F for approximately 20 minutes or microwave approximately 10 minutes.
