Apple Fudge bars AKA Chocolate Cake AKA Apple Crisp

Ok, I found a recipe for apple "fudge" bars and thought that sounded great. Well, it turned out to look, taste and feel like chocolate cake with just a hint of apple in it. I had no ingredients for frosting, so it was pointless, I brought it to work and it was devoured.






Next I decided to stick with an old standby and make apple crisp, because I like it and I'm craving desert. This recipe seemed good because of the lemon, but I didn't have lemon so I used my Minute Maid Light Lime Drink. It tasted grreat! The lime made it super tangy and good. I got it from the foodnetwork page, which I like.
6 McIntosh apples, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground or freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup flour or fine graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 stick butter
1 pint vanilla ice cream
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a 9 by 12 baking dish, combine apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar. In a small bowl, mix flour or graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and butter together using the tines of a fork and your fingers, working until even, small crumbles form. Sprinkle topping evenly over apples and bake 15 to 20 minutes until apples are just tender and topping is golden brown. Top dishes of apple crisp with small scoops of vanilla ice cream. YUM!
