I have the actual magazine, so I made the original; the only difference is that Cook's Illustrated calls for just 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon in the filling. The author of the recipe is Yvonne Ruperti. Also, if you haven't yet, you have GOT to try the other two variations on the same page of the magazine article - the Skillet Apple Crisp with Vanilla, Cardamom, and Pistachios is crazy good with all these extra flavors going on, and the Skillet Apple Crisp with Rasperries and Almonds is delicious; I've made them both twice already! If you have an online subscription to www.cooksillustrated.com, the online extra Skillet Apple Crisp with Maple and Bacon is obviously also really good :) For some reason, I'm not a big fan of apple crisps normally, maybe they just don't always have enough topping for me, but these four apple crisps from the Cook's Illustrated September & October 2010 issue are all AMAZING!!! <br /><br />Speaking of that issue, I also made the Rosemary Focaccia from the previous page for Easter this week, and that was also really really really good! OK, now I'm wanting to look through some more...ah, the Easier Fried Chicken; Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder with Peach Sauce; Steamed Chinese Dumplings (Shu Mai); and Bruschetta with Artichoke Hearts and Parmesan were also super loved in our house! Great issue ... but then, they always are good recipes from Cooks Illustrated!<br /><br />I will have to try it in a skillet - must say the 6 crisps I've made from this page have all turned out delicious in a regular skillet as well, but the cast iron sounds fun to get some good browning on those apples! Great idea! Christopher Kimball is so enamored with cast iron that I have a feeling he makes his in a cast iron skillet too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672698739313934804.post-66223941045724045352012-10-07T18:31:27.793-04:002012-10-07T18:31:27.793-04:00I told you that you should double it! Triple it ev...I told you that you should double it! Triple it even. Roasted sweet potatoes are good even with barely anything on them anyway. Haha you shall never need to endure the subway again. We should plant some sweet potatoes. They are soo delicious! Glad you'll try the apple crisp. Seems like something daddy would especially love!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649533833855049135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672698739313934804.post-58648632233651053512012-10-07T18:11:34.220-04:002012-10-07T18:11:34.220-04:00This looks like a keeper!

Loved the pics and happy memories of a great weekend, but the exception of the subway pic which got my stomach a little queasy at just the sight of it. Btw, the sweet potatoes were fabulous, though her topping ingredient amounts were much too skimpy. Or maybe it was those gynormous mutant potatoes. Can't believe how many potatoes we got from one stinking plant. You must plant some next year!Lynda Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678613838197035850noreply@blogger.com
