Dinner Party with DESSERT!!



We had some friends over for dinner and it turned out amazing!! Looks a bit like my Thanksgiving meal, but it was soooo good it needed to be repeated. This time I made homemade bread with dinner and for dessert we had Apple Walnut Crisp with Ice Cream!!! The Apple Crisp taste like an Apple Pie and easy to make. Served up with Soy Ice Cream it's a great Vegan Dessert!

Apple Walnut Crisp

Oat-Nut Topping-you might want to make a bit extra to put on top
1 c walnut halves-chopped into small pieces
3/4 c rolled oats
2/3 c unbleached white flour
1/2 c maple sugar
1/4 tsp sea salt
6 TBSP Canola oil
2 TBSP water
1 tsp cinnamon-for dusting the top
1 tsp maple sugar-for dusting the top

Apple Filling
3 pounds apples, Honey Crisp are nice and sweet, peeled, cored, sliced, and chopped into chunks
1/2 c dried cherries or cranberries (optional)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground allspice
2 TBSP maple syrup
2 TBSP maple sugar
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp lemon zest
Pinch of sea salt
1/4 c apple juice

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Toss together oats, flour, sugar, walnuts and salt. Drizzle in the oil and water, stirring lightly. Topping should be crumbly, like wet sand. Set aside.

Toss together all the filling ingredients and pour into 9x13 pyrex baking dish.

Sprinkle the Oat-Nut Topping over the apples evenly, completely covering the apples; sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top.

Bake 15 minutes at 400, then reduce to 350 degrees and bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until the topping is cooked and the apples are tender.

Remove and let it cool. Serve with Soy Vanilla Ice Cream.
