Apple Crisp

The night before, apples can be peeled, cut and stored in the 13 x 9 pan, covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. If they turn brown, it’s ok, they will bake up nice and white! The topping can be mixed ahead also, just store in a zip-bag.

8 or more cups pared, sliced baking apples
1 1/3 c. brown sugar
1 c. flour
1 c. oats
1 ½ tsp. cinnamon
1 ½ tsp. nutmeg
2/3 c. real butter, softened

Spray a 13 x 9 pan. Fill with apples almost to the top. Combine sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cut in butter. Sprinkle over apples. Bake 350˚ until apples are tender and topping is golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream.
