Homemade Apple Crisp

Directions

Place everything except the cranberries in a large pot and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and maintain at a simmer.

Meanwhile, mix 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with just enough water to make a paste.

Pour into the apple mixture and bring the mixture to a near boil. If the filling still seems liquidity, add one more tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in a little water.

After the cornstarch has been added and the mixture brought to a near boil, remove it from the heat, add the cranberries and set it aside.

Mix all of the dry ingredients in an electric mixer with the paddle attachment.

Then add the butter a piece at a time until a crumbly texture is achieved.

Be careful of over mixing or you’ll create a dough.

If you don’t have an electric mixer, mix the dry ingredients in a bowl with a whisk and then cut in the butter with a fork or pastry blender.

Place the apple mixture in an 8 x8×2 baking dish .

Spoon the crust on top and bake at 400℉ (200℃) for 30 minutes or until the top is bubbly and brown.
