Apple Cinnamon Crisp

Do you ever have people coming over for breakfast, have no idea what you want to bake, then just stare into the fridge for a while until an idea comes to mind?

So I stared into the fridge. I did some expert rummaging about. Opened the cheese drawer, then the produce drawers. Moved stuff around a bit on the shelves in case … what … a fully cooked recipe jumped out? In any case, I finally noticed that I had a bag of apples in the crisper, so my brain went, “apples and almondmilk. Gotta be a breakfast recipe in there somewhere.”

And my brain was right. I ended up baking a super delicious apple cinnamon crumble. My brain even figured out a way to call it health food, as it also had oats. My brain is quite flexible in its decisions prior to breakfast. Or any meal.

What do you think of my twist on the basic crumble?

Apple Cinnamon Crumble

6-8 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup Almond Breeze Almondmilk Hint of Honey Vanilla
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup rolled oats
½ tsp salt
¾ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp allspice
7 Tbls softened butter

Put the peeled, cored and sliced apples into a shallow pan or dish and spread them out. Pour the almondmilk over the apples, and let them soak in it for about 15 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375?

Blend the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender (or rub in with your fingers), add in the butter until your mixture is crumbly.

Pour out any remaining liquid from the soaking apples, then spread them evenly into a lightly buttered 8 X 13-inch baking dish.

Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the apples, and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Don’t forget to put apples on the shopping list in case you just used up the whole bag (as I did).
