Apple Crisp with Northwestern Maple Blossom Honey

INGREDIENTS

• 4-5 cups of tart apples (we recommend Granny Smiths)
• ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Juice and zest from l lemon
• ¼ cup plus 3 tablespoons Northwestern Maple Blossom Honey or High Plains Sweet Clover Honey
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 1 ½ cup rolled oats
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Optional: ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400*
2. Peel and thinly slice the apples.
3. Mix the following ingredients into the apples: 2 tablespoons flour, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, juice and zest from one lemon and ¼ cup Northwestern Maple Blossom Honey or High Plains Sweet Clover Honey.
4. Spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of a 9” square baking dish.
5. For the topping, melt together the butter and 3 tablespoons Northwestern Maple Blossom Honey or High Plains Sweet Clover Honey.
6. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, ½ cup flour, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, and nuts if using.
7. Add the butter honey mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Sprinkle the mixture across the top of the apples — it will be lumpy.
8. Bake at 400* for 10 minutes and then lower the temperature to 375 and continue baking for 25-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Enjoy warm from the oven with vanilla ice cream.
