This sounds so yummy! But I have a quick question. Could I use frozen apples that I put in the freezer summer/fall 06?

Thanks (02/27/2007)

Easy Apple Crisp

I always use frozen fruit collected in the summer, I don't even blanch it first i just wash, peel, core and freeze and let defrost otherwise the crumble topping will cook before the apple

It is even quicker in the microwave taking 13 minutes (approx) in total, just assemble the dish put in the microwave on full power. Although the top doesn't brown, it can be sprinkled with a teaspoon of sugar and placed under the browning grill.

This is a cleaner version as in the oven the syrupy juices tend to boil over and spill and stick to the oven floor

This dish is called apple crumble in England , there is a Dutch apple crumble also which has the addition of dried sultanas. (02/28/2007)
