Apple Crumble

10 • 25 • 11
It seems like the last couple recipes I’ve posted have been well received, so until someone says stop posting simple silly recipes, I will keep going.
Last night,  I made the most delicious apple crumble. It has been a go-to for me the past couple years. So easy and SO delicious. I have absolutely no memory of where I found this recipe, but I know I’ve changed it quite a bit over the years.

Ingredients:
4 cups sliced tart apples (about 4 medium – I use Granny Smith)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup butter softened

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange sliced apples in greased 8″ x 8″ square pan.  Mix dry ingredients and then add 1/2 cup of softened butter to create topping.  Sprinkle evenly over apples.  Pour the rest of the butter over the top of everything. Bake for 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender.  


 

Zucchini Bread

Per the request of some readers, I am going to start sharing more recipes. If you get sick of me and hate it, let me know. K?

Last week I decided to try my hand at baking. I usually never bake. It just always seems like it needs to be so exact. There is so much more room for creativity for me in cooking. But… we had a large zucchini that was going to go to waste. I was hungry. And well this happened.

not my photo, oops.

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 cups grated zucchini

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine oil, eggs, water, zucchini and lemon juice. Mix wet ingredients into dry, add nuts and fold in. Bake in 2 standard loaf pans, sprayed with nonstick spray, for about 55 minutes.

This is a variation of Paula Deen’s recipe and I realllllly enjoyed it. It restored my faith in baking. I ate it for 4 meals (yes FOUR) a day for the last week. ENJOY!
