This is "perfect timing" for me too. I came to the site to check out the apple crisp recipes and thought I'd look at the new pictures on the blog first. I just made a half recipe...there is no way 2# prepared apples would fit in MY 9x9 pan. I have instant Clearjel as well as Signature Secrets Culinary Thickener on hand. Does either one work well in apple crisp? I purchased them for specific recipes and now need more ways to use them up. Hmmm, you must have a really shallow 9" x 9" pan; some manufacturers DO make them extremely low. And yes, mix ClearJel with the sugar before using; or simply add the SS. How much? Depends on how juicy your apples are. Maybe 2 tablespoons of either? PJH
