Apple Steusel Recipe

Ingredients: Enough for a small mini casserole dish that will serve
3-4. Double the recipe for an 8 by 8 pan, quadruple it for a 9 by 13 pan.

3 good-sized fresh fall apples - Cortland or McIntosh are both great
(we used Granny Smith tonight)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Topping:
1/2 stick cold gf margarine
1/2 cup gf flour (we used Bob’s Red Mill GF All Purpose Flour)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Grease the bottom only of a small (4 cups or so)
casserole dish. Peel and core the apples, slice, and place in a bowl.
Top with sugar, cinnamon and vanilla, toss to coat. Set aside while
preparing the topping. Make the streusel by cutting the cold
margarine into a bowl, adding the flour, sugar, and cinnamon, and
rubbing it through your fingers until the streusel is a coarse,
sandy/pebbly texture. Put the seasoned apples into the pan, top
generously with the streusel, and bake at 350 about 30 minutes, until
the streusel is golden brown and the apple is starting to bubble up
through the topping.

Serves 3-4 Prep Time: 10 minutes Baking Time: 30 minutes

Can you tell we picked apples last week? We doubled it in the 8 by 8
pan and it was a very generous amount for the 6 of us.

Enjoy!
