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 light 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.

wondring about using frozen apples for the apple crisp and again, to thaw before baking or not….
Comment by Shirley:
Frozen apples work great in this, but definitely do NOT let the apples thaw first. Thawing makes for too much liquid. I freeze apple slices on a tray and then transfer them to large bags once they’re frozen so later I can take out as many slices as I need.
Comment by Mrs. Banoill:
I’m in complete agreement about what Shirley says about not letting the apples thaw first. I always used to let them thaw and I thought that any dish made with frozen apples had to be soggy. Then I found this site and the post about freezing apples for pies and tried Shirley’s method (which by the way works wonderfully.) Just remember to cook the apples in their frozen state and a pie or crisp will be just like using fresh apples.

I made this last night and it was really good. Thanks for sharing your recipes. I wanted to tell you that I find your instructions very easy to follow. I’m not a cook but I have made several of your recipes and can’t believe how good they have turned out.
