Super Easy Apple Crisp

I decided to use up the last of the (delicious!) Honey Crisp apples before they went bad. I was craving apple crisp so I decided to make some. I'll be the only one eating it because Phillip doesn't enjoy it like I do. His loss, for sure!

INGREDIENTS:
5 cups thinly sliced apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats (I used one cup of Quick Cooking Oats and it turned out just fine)
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (I didn't have nutmeg, but I DID have pie spice, so I used that)
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup butter, softened

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Toss apples with lemon juice and water in a shallow 2 quart baking dish.

In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, nutmeg, and salt. Mix to blend thoroughly. Cut in the butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in walnuts. Crumble over apples to cover completely.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until top is lightly browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.

OMG, this is one of the best apple crisps I've ever tasted. It's not as crunchy as some, but it's not soggy in the least. I think I baked it for 1 hour, instead of the 45 minutes. Also, I used an 8"x8" Corning dish.



Try it, you'll LOVE it!
