I’m known for barbecue, not for baking. But there are times when I’m called on to produce a dessert, and I’ll tell you right now that there’s nothing easier to make than this apple crunch. It’s like apple pie without the hassle; you don’t even have to make a crust. If you’re really feeling desperate and in a big hurry, you can top the apples with half of the batter of a boxed cake mix; it’s good that way, too.

Preheat the oven to 350˚F.

Lightly butter a 9-inch square baking dish. Place the apple slices in the baking dish.
Step 3
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse a couple of times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the apples.
Step 5
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the apples are tender. Serve warm, with ice cream, if you like.
