Apple Crisp

A crisp is a sweet dessert made with baked fruit as the bottom layer, which is topped with a crumbly topping. It is commonly referred to as a "fruit crisp" or as a crisp described by the name of the fruit in the dessert, such as apple crisp, a three fruit crisp, or something similar. A typical crisp combines a variety of ingredients, which include brown sugar, oatmeal and nuts that are mixed with the butter, flour and cinnamon to create a granular topping that is spread over the baked fruit. Apple crisp is one of the most commonly prepared crisps, especially in the fall when they apples are in season, but other fruits and berries, such as peaches, pears, blueberries, and rhubarb are also used to make delicious crisps. Although it can be served cold, it is most often served as a warm dessert.

	6 c. sliced Granny Smith apples (approx. 6 med.) 1 1/4 c. brown sugar 3/4 c. flour 3/4 c. quick oats		1/2 c. butter or margarine 1 tsp. nutmeg 1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9 x 11 baking dish. Place the sliced apples in the bottom of the baking dish and spread out evenly.
Combine all the remaining ingredients together in another bowl and mix until well blended. The mixture should have a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the crumbly mixture evenly over the apples. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until apples are tender when poked and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
