Simple Apple Crisp Recipe

We had some apples lying around I needed to use up, and I was craving a sweet fall treat since it’s been cooler the last few days and I’ve been dreaming of fall. I love this quick recipe because I never have to run to the store. I always have everything on hand. As an added bonus, your house will smell delicious for days. Who needs candles when you have recipes like this? Plus, you get to eat this fragrance maker. Score!

Ingredients for the filling

6 tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced {I used Granny Smith}
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chopped into bits
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Ingredients for the topping

1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl combine apple slices, butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon.  Pour into a 9×13 buttered baking dish {you can also cut the recipe in half and use an 8″ pie plate}.

Place the ingredients for the topping in bowl and using a fork, work the ingredients together for a minute or two until they are nice and crumbly. Sprinkle over apple mixture, cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook an additional 20 minutes or until the juices are bubbling.

Serve warm with ice cream. Enjoy!
