The dip in the temperatures today sure makes it feel like fall has arrived. The little lady and I decided to stay snuggled up in our warm, dry house today and naturally, bake something yummy! Today we opted for one of my favorite fall treats: apple crisp.
My mom always made amazing apple crisp and I must admit, I have been able to follow in her footsteps. This yummy dessert is nut-free and the topping is so delicious you'll have a hard time stopping at one piece.
So, from our house to yours, here's our version of apple crisp. Enjoy!
Apple Crisp
6-8 apples (4 cups), peeled and thinly sliced
1 c. sugar
3 T. flour
1 t. cinnamon
Topping
1 c. quick oatmeal
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. flour
2/3 c. butter (not straight from the refrigerator, but not too soft)
In a bowl, mix the apples, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix oatmeal, brown sugar, flour together. Chop the butter through the mixture.
Lightly spray or rub oil in a pan. Put in apple mixture, sprinkle topping mixture on top and back for 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Top with Cool Whip or vanilla ice cream.
*May also substitute cherry pie filling or rhubarb for another yummy option
