Apple Crisp

Don't you just love fall! Apple Crisp is probably my favorite dessert. This recipe is my Mom's and she makes it better than I, but it is still so yummy! I love the smell of it in my home. I think next time I will try it in the crock pot! I will let you know how it goes.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 4 c. Sliced Apples
  • 1- 1 1/2 c. Brown Sugar
  • 1 c. Flour
  • 1 c. Oats
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
  • 2/3 c. Butter
* The original recipe asks for half the crumb mixture, but we like to double it. :)

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 375*
  2. Place sliced apples in dish.
  3. Combine ingredients to a crumb and sprinkle over apples.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream.
TIPS:
My Mom doesn't add the nutmeg and just adds extra cinnamon. It is better that way! The apples can be substituted for peaches.

PS- I tried making this in the crock pot.... not good! Don't do it. It was mush! Oh and green apples for this recipe wasn't so great either.

Any suggestions on what type of apple tastes best?

You should definitely use a crispy apple because you don't want the dessert to be mushy. A green apple or I think maybe a honey crisp?... sorry I don't know apples to well! I am sure any apple will be fine. If it is a sweeter apple I would use less sugar. Good luck!

LOVE apple crisp! All your recipes look great, I need to take some down to make soon. Can I make requests? I would love some great new soup or stew recipes since it is finally cooling off here!

Absolutely! I love soup and I have been craving some with the rainy weather we are getting here. I'm going to try a couple new ones soon, so I will let you know if they are keepers! You can click the soup label on the side column to check out the ones I have on the blog. Mmmmm... stew sounds good too! :)
