Apple Crisp

Adam and I went apple picking on Saturday, it was a LOT of fun, we came home with 13 lbs of apples. I knew I wanted to bake with them. I tried my first recipe tonight, it was an apple crisp.

Apple Crisp (From: Betty Crocker)

• 4 medium tart cooking apples, sliced (4 cups)
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
• 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Cream or Ice cream, if desired

Heat oven to 375ºF. Grease bottom and sides of 8-inch square pan with shortening.

Spread apples in pan. In medium bowl, stir remaining ingredients except cream until well mixed; sprinkle over apples.

Bake about 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Serve warm with cream.
