Apple Crisp - a la mode!

One of the best reasons for this season is the variety of baked goods you can make with apples!  When we were kids (and hopefully even now-if she sees this!) my mom would rotate through her list of fall treats by making apple muffins topped with cinnamon and sugar, then apple cake topped with cream cheese icing (still one of my favourites) till she got to, Apple Crisp! What I consider to be the best of all the appley goodness treats. If you find yourself in the mood for some, follow this recipe (with my variations) to reach apple bliss:

Ingredients

  • 10 cups all-purpose apples, peeled, cored and sliced  (I actually used about 6 or 7 medium apples and it was plenty - if you use the  pan i recommend...)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup water
 

  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C).
  2. Place the sliced apples in a 9x13 inch pan. (I used a square 9 x 9 pan which means more crumble per apple ratio) Mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and ground cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples. Pour water evenly over all.
  3. Combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 45 minutes.
