On October 31st Willowwind Friends enjoyed a Costume Parade, Preschool Reading Buddies, Sugar Skull Decorating, a Prairie Animal Pumpkin contest and some delicious Apple Crisp. Chef Gaby worked with Kindergarten through 2nd Grade Students to bake this community dish. Please find the recipe below. Enjoy!
Gluten-Free Apple Crisp (and Dairy Free Too!)
Ingredients
 |
| Chef Gaby works with students to prepare the Apple Crisp |
- 6 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- a little brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup PURE maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 cups old fashioned gluten-free oats
- 1/2 cup cold Earth Balance (Dairy Free) butter (real butter may also be used)
- 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup craisins (optional)
- 1/2 cup pecans (optional)
Crumble
- Mix together maple syrup, cinnamon, and oats (you may also add pecans if you choose)
- Cut in butter (go ahead - use your hands)
- Put in refrigerator until apples are prepared
Crisp
- Add apples, water, cinnamon, and a little brown sugar to large sauce pan with lid
- Cook 10 to 15 minutes until NEARLY soft.
- Stir in vanilla
- Spread into bottom of 9X13 pan
- Sprinkle OPTIONAL craisins here
- Top with oatmeal mixture (recrumble as needed)
- Bake at 375 degree for 40 to 45 minutes
- If your oatmeal is turning too brown, cover with foil for 1/2 of baking period.
Serve warm.
If you would like you may serve with Vanilla Ice Cream or Whipped Cream,
but that of course, would not make it Dairy Free.
The Recipe Author suggests experimenting with Flax Seed as well!
Original recipe found by Chef Gaby from www.inthekitchenwithjenny.com
We tweaked it a bit to meet the needs of our students.
It was delicious!
