Autumn Apple Crisp

Living in New England, apples are a major part of our autumn meals.

Here is a recipe for our favorite seasonal treat, Apple Crisp.

For the filling:

10-12 large apples, peeled and sliced (Cortlands are our favorite)

3/4 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the crumb topping:

1 cup quick oats

1 cup flour

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup melted butter

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan.
2. Place the sliced apples in the pan. In a small bowl, mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and 1 tsp cinnamon together.  Sprinkle over apples, then stir carefully to coat the apples.
3. In a bowl, combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes, until apples are soft and topping is golden brown.  Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
