Mark's parents have 3 apple trees, and they are in Arizona for awhile. We tried to eat and give away as many as we could, but it was no use.....we weren't even making a dent! We couldn't stand to see so many apples falling off the tree, and going to waste. My friend gave me a great recipe for freezer apple filling. Tonight the boys are camping, so me and Bailey went to work. We made 7 bags in no time. You make the filling and put it in gallon freezer bags. Then, whenever you want an apple crisp or pie throughout the year, just pull a frozen bag out of the freezer. It's so easy and your kitchen only gets messy once! Here's the recipe, and also a recipe for the top of the apple crisp. Enjoy!!!
Freezer Apple Filling
7 cups apples
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
pinch of salt
3/4 C. sugar
1 T. lemon juice
1/4 C. flour
Place all ingredients in gallon freezer bag. Shake and work bag until all ingredients are mixed well and apples are coated. Press air out and seal. Lay flat in freezer. Good for pie or crisp.
Apple Crisp Topping
2/3 C. oatmeal
1/3 cup flour
1/4 C. butter
1/2 C. brown sugar
pinch of salt
Mix until crumbly. Lay foil over pan and bake apples for 30 minutes. put crisp on top and bake for 15-20 minutes more at 350 degrees.
(My friend says it's better to 1 1/2 this recipe)
