RECIPE: Apple Crisp with Pumpkin Butter

I’m coming out of retirement to share this amazing recipe.

Okay, maybe “retirement” isn’t the right word. I’ve just been really lazy about posting lately…like, for the whole summer, and then fall, and most of winter. But “retirement” sounds better, amirite, Jay-Z?

Jay-Z doesn’t read my blog. 

Anyway. My usual apple crisp recipe is a mashup of my mom’s easy-peasy recipe and Betty Crocker’s recipe. And every other apple crisp recipe, I guess, because there’s not much to apple crisp. But when I went into the cabinet for some brown sugar, I found a jar of pumpkin butter we bought at Pepper Palace a few months ago, and I thought, “Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.” Which is my default opinion on anything pumpkin-related. I played it safe a little and only replaced half the butter with pumpkin butter, but OMG. OMGAAAAAAHHHHH.

You’ll need:

  • 5-6 big apples (like, the end-of-season monsters)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 (heaping) tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

1. Peel and chop the apples.

2. Put the apples in a large ziploc bag with the flour, white sugar, and cinnamon. Shake it like a Polaroid picture.

3. Melt half a stick (1/4 cup) of butter in the microwave. Stir in the brown sugar, pumpkin butter, and vanilla.

4. Dump the ziploc mixture into a greased baking dish. Pour the buttery mixture over it.

5. Bake (covered) at 350 degree for around 40 minutes.

Enjoy!
