Dark ‘n’ Stormy Apple Crisp with Rum 
Recipe by Faith Alice Sleeper of Crunkcakes

INGREDIENTS 

• 5 Granny Smith apples 
• 1 lime, zested and juiced 
• 1 ½ tablespoon freshly grated ginger 
• 1/3 cup Goslings Rum 
• ¾ cup granulated sugar 
• 1 cup all-purpose flour 
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats 
• ¾ cup dark brown sugar, packed 
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted 

PREPARATION 
Peel, core, and slice five apples, then add into a large bowl. Add lime juice and zest, grated ginger, rum, and granulated sugar, and mix thoroughly until apples are coated.

Then, make your crumble: Stir together the flour, oats, and brown sugar in a bowl. Melt a stick of butter on the stovetop or in the microwave, and pour it into the flour mixture. Stir until fully combined.

Pour the apples into a greased baking pan, then cover the top with the crumble mixture. Bake at 350 degrees until crisp is golden and apples are softened, about 45 minutes.
