For all of you who haven’t mastered perfect pie crust, this recipe is for you – the topping can be made well ahead, so keep an extra batch in refrigerator. You will be happy to have it on hand.
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup butter, cut into small pieces
½ cup flour (can substitute equal amount of a gluten free flour mix)
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
8 -9 large apples – Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, McIntosh or any combination – peeled cored and sliced
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Mix all the topping ingredients in a bowl, working the bits of butter in until well incorporated
- Place the apples in a 9X13 glass baking dish and top with the oatmeal mixture and spread evenly
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is brown and the sides are bubbly
- Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream if desired
It doesn’t get more comforting and tasty than this! And I love how great the crisp makes the house smell while it’s baking.
