Apple Crisp

Ingredients:

6-8 apples, or enough to fill an 9 X 12 cake pan to the brim

Cinnamon and sugar for sprinkling

2 tablespoons flour

Topping:

1 ½ cups flour

¾ cup sugar

¾ cup brown sugar

1 cup oatmeal

2 sticks of cold butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Greasing a 9 X 12 cake pan is optional.

Cut apples into thin wedges or small pieces and fill a 9 X 12 cake pan to the brim. Don’t be stingy – apples shrink in the oven.

Sprinkle apples liberally with sugar and cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of flour. Mix in pan. Alternately, apples can be sliced and sprinkled in a large bowl, then transferred to the pan.

To make the topping, put all topping ingredients in a bowl and use an electric mixer to combine them until texture is crumbly and butter is pea-sized.

Spoon topping evenly over the top of the apples. The topping will go higher than the edges of the pan.

Place baking dish on a sheet pan to catch drips and bake for one hour or until the top is brown and the apples are bubbly.

Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping.
