Apple Crisp – my way!****
• 10 cups thinly sliced apples
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup water – ONLY if not frozen!!!
• ¼ tsp. nutmeg
•
• 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
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C).
• Place the sliced apples in a 9x13 inch pan. Mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and ground cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples. Pour water evenly over all.
• Combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 1 hour.
"Oh my gosh, this is delicious! I have never had such a delicious apple crisp! I will never search for another recipe! I fixed this for my large, picky family for Thanksgiving. There were no leftovers!:-) Here's what I changed. I made 2 batches. In one, I added 1/4 cup of water rather than 1/2 cup. That was perfect. In the other batch I didn't add any water at all, and it was a little drier than I like. So cut the water in half. Also, I tossed the apples in the cinnamon and sugar mixture, and I added some nutmeg to that mixture. I think that's what made the apples soooo perfect. Lastly, I doubled the crust recipe and put a layer on top and on bottom. Yum!!! I used 6 large Granny Smith's. I won't change a THING about this recipe next time I fix it, which if my family has anything to say about it, will be tomorrow!:-) 11-13-06 I made this again for like the 5th time. It's still good, but I think next time I will try to cut the butter into the crust rather than melt it. My crust is never "crumbly" like I like on a crisp recipe. Still a 5-star no doubt!!! Tasted wonderful. I followed the directions exactly this time, but in the future I will make the following changes: cut the amount of water in half, double the topping and add 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. You may need to increase the cooking time as mine was not done in 45 minutes. Great recipe though!"
****I would add no extra water if the apples are frozen, way too much liquid! I also did not add a crust to the bottom. I probably will next time!
