My Celtic Apple Crisp is made with honeycrisp apples and a buttery brown sugar oatmeal crumble topping and topped with a honey whiskey whipped cream.
St. Patrick’s Day is next week and when you live in Dublin, Ohio you kind of have to celebrate or at least raise your glass on March 17.
There’s no better way to celebrate the holiday than with whiskey. The Irish drink it and cook with it. So there’s no reason why we can’t do the same.
I’ve added whiskey to this Apple Crisp to make it shamrockin’ and topped it with a honey whiskey whipped cream.
Don’t you want to sink your fork into this dessert?
I turned my family favorite apple crisp recipe into a grown-up version by simmering the apples in a little honey whiskey to add a little punch to this typically Irish dessert.
Then I added more whiskey to the whipped cream. It was grand!
Now while any whiskey will work for this recipe, Irish or otherwise, I wanted a sweetened variety.
And I had a little Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey Whiskey in my liquor cabinet. That’ll do!
How to make celtic apple crisp from scratch?
My apple crisp is made with honeycrisp apples and a buttery brown sugar oatmeal crumble topping.
It’s a simple recipe and adding the whiskey imparts a wonderful flavor.
This recipe takes three steps and you’ll need a few key items from the grocery.
The apples: My favorite kind of apples are honeycrisp apples. They are sweet and tart and perfect for this apple crisp! You’ll want to peel and slice the apples into wedges or slices.
The crisp: Mix together butter, flour, sugar and oat to make this crisp topping.
The whipped topping: You’ll need honey, whiskey and whipping cream to make this adult version recipe.
Did you know that the apple tree is considered a sacred tree in Irish mythology and folklore.
It’s a symbol of fruitfulness and immortality. I love learning something new!
