Fall = Apple Crisp!

Nothing says fall to me like warm apple crisp. Warm apple crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is one of my all time favorite desserts! We have some neighbors with an abundance of apple trees, so that means I get lot and lots of apples (usually too much so the pigs appreciate the extras). I like to pre-make apple filling for all of the winter events- Thanksgiving, Christmas, or just a cold blizzardy day!

Here’s my favorite apple crisp recipe! I’m all about quick and easy and this is just that!

Apple Crisp

Apple Filling:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
7 medium sized apples (peeled & sliced)
Splash of lemon juice

Topping:
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine apples and filling ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the topping ingredients. Fill 9 by 13 baking dish with apple filling, then crumble the topping mixture over the apples. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.
Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and ENJOY!!

*Yes I leave peels on the apples. Not sure why, but I like it better that way!
