Apple Krunch

Warm apples go best with crunchiness. If you agree, then this recipe is a good thing for you to make for dessert. It is a bit sweet, but you can adjust the sweetness levels by the type of apples and the amount of brown sugar you use. The assembling is easy and it smells great while baking.

This recipe seems easy enough, but the list of ingredients and directions that I used were not very complete. I did a bit of guessing, but it turned out pretty well! I think I may use a quarter cup less sugar and flour next time, since I didn't use all the "krunch" mixture. This recipe is more of a guideline that is easily adjusted to suit your tastes.

Apples, the amount depends on the type used
1 C sugar
1 C flour
2 t baking powder
1 egg
1/4 C brown sugar
2 T butter
ground cinnamon to taste

In a bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, and baking powder with a fork.

Add the egg and mix well. This will result in a crumbly and dry mixture. Set this aside.

Peel and slice your apples. Or, if you already did this and froze the apples like I did, remove them from the freezer. Line the bottom of a 8 x 8 inch casserole dish with apples. Make this layer thick. I would guess I used the equivalent of 3 apples.

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the layer of apples.

Cut the butter into small chunks and evenly distribute them over the brown sugar to the best of your ability.

Evenly layer the sugary mixture over everything. (Everything in the dish, not the kitchen...)

Sprinkle the top with cinnamon. Use as much or as little as you want.

Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.

This is probably great with ice cream or milk, unless you are lactose intolerant. Enjoy!
