MANZANA CROCANTE ( APPLE CRISP)
This recipe is a form of apple crisp that I have made since I was a teenager. It is the only one I use and it consistently tastes good...no matter what type of apples are used. I have substituted Splenda sugar for both the brown and white sugars called for in this recipe and it comes out tasting just as good, although the 'crisp' part has a little different texture to it, but not bad. I only recommend using real butter in this recipe. This is the type of comfort food that you can have a big bowl of, climb back into bed, and eat under the warmth of the comforters when it is freezing cold outside....I love it! I usually double the recipe and freeze one dish for use later. Just thaw in refrigerator and reheat if you want it warm.

The Ingredients
The main ingredient in apple manzana crisp is, of course, apples. Granny Smith apples are commonly used, but any apple variety will work. Other ingredients needed for the filling include:- Lemon juice
- Cinnamon
- Granulated sugar
- Cornstarch
- All-purpose flour
- Old-fashioned oats

- Ground cinnamon
- Salt
- Unsalted butter
The Process
The first step in making apple manzana crisp is to prepare the apples. They should be peeled, cored, and sliced into thin wedges. The lemon juice is sprinkled over the apples to prevent them from browning. Next, the cinnamon, sugar, and cornstarch are mixed with the apples. This mixture is then transferred to a baking dish. The crumble is made by combining the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. The butter is then added, and the mixture is crumbled together using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs. The crumble mixture is then sprinkled over the top of the apples in the baking dish. The dish is then baked in the oven until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.Serving Suggestions
Apple manzana crisp is usually served warm and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It can also be enjoyed on its own or with a drizzle of caramel sauce.Variations
There are many variations of apple manzana crisp, including:- Adding chopped nuts to the crumble mixture
- Using different types of fruit, such as peaches, blackberries, or cherries
- Using different spices, such as nutmeg or allspice, instead of cinnamon
