Without a doubt, the BEST apple crisp ever!!!! We loved it! My husband used the word "sublime" to describe it. My daughter (11) helped make it and it was fun and easy too. I forgot to add the nutmeg to the apples so I sprinkled it on top before it went in the oven and that seemed to do the trick. Besides that I followed the recipe exactly. It was PERFECT! I will make this again and again! Thanks so much Aroostook! -
Delicious simple-to-make apple desert. I halved the recipe (but used 2 eggs) and cooked it in an 8x8 pan allowing a little extra time for cooking in a smaller pan. Thanks Aroostook for sharing -- I am adding this to my apple desert collection as we will be having this often during apple season. -
Aroostook, this is a great dessert! You are right, it is different than any crisp recipe I am familiar with either. To me the favor and texture is more like an apple pie than a crisp, but much easier to prepare than a pie! I loved the sweetness of the topping, it enhances the apple filling. I already have a favorite apple crisp recipe, but this is so different, that this recipe will become a favorite APPLE recipe and made often around my house! Thanks for sharing this winner! -
My oh My...So good. I just love the crust. I didn' have apples but have so much pears so I used that. Also, instead of nutmeg. I used cinnnamon...Such an easy recipe that is so delicious. Thank you. -
Excellent Apple Crisp and a nice change from the usual oat crumb topping. I did cut the sugar to 2.5 cups for the topping on my second time making it as I thought it was a bit too sweet.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
