n Song of Songs, we read, “
As the apple is rare
and unique among the trees of the forest, so
is my beloved [Israel] amongst the maidens
[nations] of the world.”
Apples are a Rosh Hashanah food with
symbolic meaning, known as simanim, that we
dip in honey to usher in a sweet new year. Keep
the sweetness going with this easy and delicious
dessert you can serve to your holiday guests.
APPLE VANILLA CRISP
WITH CARAMEL SAUCE
Ingredients
Filling:
3 pounds Granny Smith apples,
peeled and cut into ½-inch
chunks.
1 Tbsp. apple brandy (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup sugar
3 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
Topping:
¾ cup flour
½ cup raw oats, instant or other
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 cup caramel sauce (home-
made or ice cream topping as a
drizzle on top)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
Toss all the filling ingre-
dients together in a large
bowl and spread in an
8-cup or slightly larger
attractive baking dish (this
is the dish you will use to
serve the crisp — I like to
use a soufflé dish). Bake,
uncovered, for 30 minutes.
2. While the apples are
baking, combine the flour,
oats, sugar and cinnamon
in a medium bowl and
stir well. Drizzle in the
butter and stir in. Sprinkle
the topping over the hot
apples and bake, uncov-
ered for 25 minutes or
more. Heat the caramel
sauce slightly and drizzle
it over the crisp. Serve
the crisp warm or at room
temperature. If you’d
like to serve the crisp in
individual dishes, spoon
it carefully into dessert
bowls or large wine glass-
es and drizzle the caramel
sauce over. Makes 8-10
servings.
