Apple Crisp

Let's move on to our apple crisp because it's delicious too

I'm going to cook this in our Dutch oven and I'm going to nestle this pot down into the coals

and I'm going to put hot coals on top of the lid too. So it's going to be just like I'm baking it in the oven at home

In fact, you don't have to have a campfire to make this. You can cook it in the oven

All right, now I've started with a dozen Granny Smith apples and I've peeled and cored them

And I was in the middle a few minutes ago of zesting a lemon

So I'm going to finish this because we're going to put a little zest and a little juice on our apples

Now, if you were wanting to do this up ahead of time, you'd want to toss your apples in lemon juice

because that would keep them from turning brown. And, of course, I'm fixing to put these on the fire and cook them right away

So it's not a big deal. but I think the flavor will be nice

So I gonna toss them just in a little bit of juice and I gonna take half of this zest and I going to toss our apples with sugar and golden raisins

Aren't those raisins pretty? So I'm just going to toss this all together, just using my hands

And I think I need to probably spray our Dutch oven so it won't stick on us

Now I'm just going to pour these sugar and raisin coated apples into our pot

I'm just going to spread that around in there. Now I'm going to make the topping for our apple crisp

And I'm using one and a fourth cup of all-purpose flour, a cup and a half of light brown sugar

I'm just going to mix those together. All right, and I'm going to blend in a stick and a half of butter

And I'm just gonna cut it into my flour and my brown sugar

I think I gonna change bowls I gonna take the rest of our lemon zest and throw it over in here

And I'm going to go in for the kill with my hands because the warmth of my hands, my body heat, is going to help soften that butter

All right, now to this I'm going to add a cup and a half of quick cooking oats

I use like the five-minute cooking kind. We're going to toss that in there

along with a pinch of cardamom, nutmeg, and cinnamon. And I'm just going to blend those all together really good

And then all you have to do now is just sprinkle it over your apples

And that flour and sugar and butter is going to just go all down in there in between those apples

All right, so y'all come along with me. I going to go back over to the fire and get this nestled in our coals And then before you know it we going to be tasting All right here we go

Now I'm going to sit that pot right there on those coals

and I'm going to take this one, and then I'm going to just shovel those hot coals on top of our lid

So he'll cook all around nice and even. Alright, he's all tended to, but I got another one over here

Then I want to see how it turned out. Oh, look how pretty

Look how pretty he is. He almost looks like a praline topping

Oh my goodness, and it's fixing to rain. I'm gonna have to hurry, hurry, hurry

It's been threatening rain all day today. Look how good that looks

Mmm
