Home Canned Apples In This Cast Iron Apple Crisp Recipe
For this recipe, I decided to go with two different kinds of home canned apple wedges.
I used one pint of plain apple wedges canned in an ultralight syrup and a pint of the red hot apple wedges.
The reason I did this was to add more variety and to give the apple crisp a stronger cinnamon.
I feel the mixture worked very well.
The taste was just right and not overpowering.
I also felt the apple crisp was sweet, but not sugary sweet.
Here is my cast iron apple crisp recipe.
