Oatmeal Apple Crisp

Oatmeal apple crisp

We’re really enjoying the unexpected huge (and free!) crop of apples, and I have been making up a lot of frozen apple pie fillings to put in the freezer. Today I made a big pan of apple crisp to have after dinner that was absolutely delicious! I have tried many apple crisp recipes, but I think this one has an especially nice blend of flavors. My apples were rather tart, so I tossed them with a small amount of sugar before I put them in the pan. I also used half olive oil and half butter instead of the all butter in the recipe, and there was no discernible difference in taste.

Ingredients
4 cups apples
1/3 cup flour
1 cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter, melted

Put apples in pan. Combine dry ingredients. Add butter and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over apples. Bake at 375°F until apples are cooked and the topping mixture is golden.
