Amazing Apple Crisp -- classic apple crisp, but better because of extra cinnamon and a perfect crispy oatmeal topping | thatwhichnourishes.com

If fall had a taste, this might be it. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of just good, old-fashioned apple crisp. A buttery oat crust blankets a warm, cinnamon-y pile of baked apples.

Tried and true, super easy and sooo good, this is the kind of recipe you’ll make and crave forever.

Serve it with some great vanilla ice cream and you will be the family’s super hero.

To serve 6-8, I use around 12 medium sized apples, but the amount is adjustable to your taste. You want around 10 cups of sliced apples. Tart apples make the best baked goods; I prefer a mixture of MacIntosh and Ida Reds. So, peel all those beauties and slice them and layer into a 9×13 or equivalent sized dish.

We are cinnamon fans at this house so to any recipes that I would add cinnamon, I add a LOT of cinnamon. Don’t be surprised when I tell you to add 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon along with 2 Tablespoons of flour and about 3/4 c. of sugar to the apples and mix it all up well.

Now, slowly pour 1/2 c. of water over the apples.

Now, for the topping. Mix together (either with a mixer or a pastry cutter) 1 cup each of oats (I like the texture of old-fashioned oats the best), brown sugar and flour.
Add 3/4 c. (12 T) of  cold butter.  Mix all until the topping looks about the size of peas.

Pour the topping over the apples. Bake the whole thing at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the whole house smells like heaven.

Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream, and maybe give me a call. I may want a bite.
