Graham Cracker Apple Crisp | Graham Cracker Apple Brown Betty

preview

Jump to Recipe Print RecipeI bought over 10 pounds of apples on sale for $.29 cents a pound. &nbsp;Happy as happy could be with my apples, I also stumbled upon a 10 pound box of coarse graham cracker crumbs for just a few bucks. &nbsp;It was time to bake….I love crumbles and crisps. &nbsp;They’re such simple, throw it all together desserts, but end up so delicious. &nbsp;Any fruit works, but apples are my favorite. &nbsp;I guess this version is technically considered a brown betty because there is an additional layer of crumbs. &nbsp;Call it what you want, I call it delicious.I have to mention that we’re not using fine crumbs like you would use for a pie crust. &nbsp;You’re using a coarse crumble. &nbsp;The box of graham cracker crumbs I found were labeled as a topping for sundaes and such. &nbsp;That being said, you do not need to beat &amp; roll the graham crackers to dusty&nbsp;oblivion. &nbsp;You’ll achieve the desired texture by smashing the crackers by&nbsp;hand in a ziploc bag or however else you need to get this deed done.I love when a recipe has a story. &nbsp;Not all recipes do, nor should they. &nbsp;How many tales can really be told about buttermilk biscuits, cream cheese frosting or meatloaf? &nbsp;Many times, the recipe just is. &nbsp;Who knows where it came from and who knows where it’s gonna go – other than in my belly 🙂So onto the origins of this recipe. &nbsp;I tasted a piece of this delicious apple crisp, baked from an old neighbor of mine. &nbsp;I was very interested in her choice of topping – graham cracker crumbs browned in butter. &nbsp;Simple enough, I know. &nbsp;I was still curious, though. &nbsp;My neighbor was an old order Mennonite (they’re much like the Amish) and as wonderful bakers as they are, they’re very frugal and super resourceful when it comes to cooking. &nbsp;Bread crumbs or oats, yes – graham cracker crumbs, really?Turns out, it’s an old recipe that “just is”. &nbsp;It was simply a way of using up homemade graham crackers, gingerbread or sugar cookies that were on there way to being stale. &nbsp;There’s that resourcefulness I was telling you about 🙂Alright, so that’s it. &nbsp;If you wanted to, you could certainly skip layering the fruit and just dump the graham cracker crumbs on top. &nbsp;I would probably use less crumbs, but your crumbs are your business. &nbsp;This is best eaten warm the day it’s made. &nbsp;Top with whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, Mexican crema, vanilla yogurt, caramel sauce or whatever else your heart desires. &nbsp;Leftovers will be mushy by the next day but can be reheated in the oven to restore some of the crisp. &nbsp;You could also brown up and save some extra crumbs to sprinkle over and add some cruch to leftovers. &nbsp;Crumbles, crisps &amp; the such are all very not fussy, so go ahead and make it your way. &nbsp;It will be delicious!Thanks so much for stopping by! &nbsp;Happy baking 🙂-Amanda- A wonderful variation of a tried, true and favorite comfort food.
