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."

Delicious! I cut this recipe in half to serve 3 of us & used three 6oz ramekins. The topping was not exactly what I expected, based on making apple crisps in the past, but as it turned out we really enjoyed the caramel-like flavor of it. DH who generally doesn't like the flavor of cinnamon, really liked it in this dish. We'll be sure to make the full recipe next time! :D Thanks for sharing, MemphisMommy! -
Great! Everyone loved it and it is pretty simple to make.

<p>Howdy Folks! <br /><br />I live with my husband and son in Memphis, TN- the BBQ capital of the world! <br />I enjoy traveling, exercising, gardening and cooking. <br />I am a stay-at -home mom whos son just enetered college, so I am now looking at options as to where my personal world is heading! School, business, volunteering, etc. So exciting! <br />I belong to a wonderful church full of Jesus followers called Heartsong. The people there are fantastic and supportive and I have shared numerous recipes and foods with these folks. I'm sure some of them a Zaar members now as well. <br />One of my hobbies is collecting folk art and decorating our house w/ said folk art... <br />We have 3 cats who think they are people. Garfield, Pooky and Nermal... <br />I especially love baking around the holidays from October through January, and like making stuff to give to others. <br />My husband has gained too much weight and complains that it is my fault ( not really-nobody says you have to eat the whole cake, pie, etc.-just eat a piece for God's sake!) So, because of this, he brings alot of my stuff to his work whereby his co-workers can eat my wares nowadays. <br /><br />I enjoy trying new foods, but have an issue with snails and frogs and organ meats, so you won't see me eating that kind of stuff, but otherwise I will try just about anything! <br /><br />My favorite ethnic foods are Italian and Greek. I grew up near Tarpon Springs, FL which is where the largest Greek population is outside of Greece. Fantastic food! <br /><br />Half of my family is Jewish and Scicilian(don't ask), so I have very fond memories of my Bubby cooking, effortlessly it seemed, so many wonderful dishes that we still eat today. I am always looking on RecipeZaar for foods that she made so I can try to replicate them the way she would have. <br /><br />My favorite restaurant is any place that makes good food at a reasonable price, and that allows me and my family to enjoy it without being rushed. <br />Out of all the chain restaurants that there are, my favorites are probably Firebirds, Bonefish,?The Olive Garden, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Red Lobster( although its been quiteawhile since they have served me something good here). We cannot forget the best BBQ that there is as well -CORKY's! Yummm... <br /><br />We have a lot of hometown cookery's here in the area , so we enjoy a lot of them as well.</p>
