Homemade apple crisp

I mentioned in my post earlier this week that I made apple crisp last weekend and I promised to post the recipe. You guys, it was a total hit with my entire family! SO delicious!

Ingredients:

-10 small Gala apples, peeled and sliced thinly (we have this apple peeler/slicer which makes it SO easy)

-1 cup sugar

-1 tbsp flour

-2 cups flour

-1 tsp ground cinnamon

-1/4 cup water

-2 cups oats

-2 cups packed light brown sugar

-1/2 tsp baking powder

-1/2 tsp baking soda

-1 cup butter, melted

Instructions:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees

-Put apple slices in large, oven safe dish

-Whisk together the 1 tbsp of flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over top of the apples, then toss with a spoon to coat. Pour water over the apples, do not mix.

-Mix together the brown sugar, oats, 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Pour in the melted butter and mix well to combine (use your hands). Mixture will form medium chunks.

-Evenly sprinkle the topping over the apple mixture.

-Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown and the filling is bubbling up at the edges.

-Serve immediately with a scoop of ice cream!

I didn't even take a picture of mine with ice cream because it was devoured so fast! I will definitely be making this again soon!

Summer eats

Zoodles! Our new favorite meal. Ever since I got a spiralizer in my Christmas stocking, we have been experimenting with different dinners using zucchini noodles.

Last night we used fresh tuna + zucchini noodles and it was so yum! We have also used shrimp, chicken, crab cakes… basically any meat is great on top of them. All you have to do is marinate the meat in sauce of your choice, cook it, and throw it on top of the zoodles.

We use about 4 zucchinis for 2 of us because they cook down a lot [and also because my husband eats a ton]. Put them in a pan with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and garlic salt and let them get slightly soft. So easy! If I can do, I promise you can too.

The perfect summer meal. Easy and fresh.
