Apple Crisp in a Jar #SundaySupper

September 20, 2015 By Betsy Cohen 26 Comments

Apple Crisp in a Jar #SundaySupper


This will not come as a surprise to any of you that I love football season. As my beloved team takes to the field, once again in pursuit of our dream of winning the big game, the perennial tailgating party becomes a ritual across the country.

Apple Crisp in a Jar is easy. The apples are cooked on the stove. The panko topping is baked in the oven and the mason jars are then assembled. Yummy! #SundaySupper

This week the Sunday Supper family is coming together to showcase dishes to Tailgate on Your Home Turf. To make the festivities even better, each dish complements one of Gallo Family Vineyards’ wonderful wines.

For me tailgating is not restricted to parking lots. Truth be told, eating in a parking lot is not really my thing. I prefer to tailgate where there is either air conditioning or heat or, if I have to be outside, I like the inside of a park at a picnic table. However, my favorite spot to tailgate just happens to be in someone’s home!

This may seem like I don’t embrace tailgating but I don’t see it that way. I love the food that is associated with tailgating; foods that are easy to prepare and that contribute to a fun day. You know the kinds to which I am referring; they put a smile on everyone’s face.

Apple Crisp in a Jar is the perfect example. The apples are cooked on the stove and the topping is baked in the oven.   Then, to make life really easy, everything gets assembled in the jars and that’s all there is to it.

The jars are fabulous to serve from a picnic bag or a basket or just set them on the table. The only other thing you need to remember is a spoon!

Gallo Family Vineyards’ White Zinfandel and Pinot Noir are excellent additions to your tailgating get together. The White Zinfandel is bursting with crisp flavors of strawberries and peach while the Pinot Noir is a medium body wine with a smooth and light finish. It brings together the aromas of cherry and sweet fruit flavors. Either one of these wine options will pair, beautifully, with Apple Crisp in a Jar.

Gallo Family Vineyards sells their wines in adorable mini four packs so each bottle is a single serving. It just doesn’t get any easier when tailgating.

Recipe Type: Dessert
Cuisine: jars, picnic, tailgating
Author: Betsy Cohen
Prep time: 50 mins
Cook time: 35 mins
Total time: 1 hour 25 mins
Serves: 3
This recipe fills three 12 ounce mason jars. The recipe can easily be halved or doubled or tripled depending on how many people you wish to serve and what size jars you fill. A combination of granny smith and golden delicious apples may be used instead of only granny smith apples.
Ingredients
  • Apples:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into medium size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Topping:
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup panko crumbs
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
  1. For the apples:
  2. Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the apples, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon. Cover and cook over medium heat just until the apples have softened. Remove the cover and continue to cook until all of the liquid is absorbed, stirring often.
  3. Remove from the heat and cool completely. The apples may be cooked ahead and refrigerated for a day before assembling the jars.
  4. For the topping:
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  6. Place the flour, sugar, panko and butter into a bowl. Work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is the size of peas.
  7. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the topping is browned, 15-20 minutes, stirring periodically.
  8. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Break into smaller pieces.
  9. Assembling the jars:
  10. Layer the apples and topping into mason jars. Store in the refrigerator. Serve cold, room temperature or warm them up if desired.

    I adore this recipe! Apple Crisp was probably my first favorite dessert (non-birthday cake or cookies) when I was a kid!

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
