Autumn Apple Crisp


We are finally entering my absolute favorite season! And thanks to my Dad we are in the thick of juicy, perfectly ripe homegrown apples. I found this recipe a while ago and after a little tweaking I think it's a jem. The sweet, crunchy topping is a perfect compliment to the slightly tart apples spiced with cinnamon. And trust me, there is plenty of the comforting topping...because let's admit it...it's the best part!


10 cups peeled apple slices
1 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups rolled oats (regular or quick)
2 cups flour
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine apple slices, sugar, flour, cinnamon and vanilla; mix well. Fill bottom of 9x13" baking pan with apple mixture.

In a medium bowl, combine oats and remaining ingredients. Blend thoroughly. Crumble over apple mixture. Press lightly over top. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Serve warm with sweetened whipped cream or ice cream (either vanilla or dulce de leche is nice).
