Apple Crisp III

Ingredients

• 5 cups thinly-sliced apples
• Lemon juice, to taste
• ⅓ cup water
• Powdered cinnamon, to taste
• ¼ pound butter
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ¾ cup rolled oats
• ½ cup flour
• 1 tsp powdered cinnamon
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• Additional rolled oats (optional)
• Ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat a conventional (i.e. not convection) oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

2. 2

   Place the apple slices in a buttered baking pan. Sprinkle them with lemon juice for flavor and to prevent them from turning brown. Mix in the water and cinnamon to taste.

3. 3

   To make the topping, combine the butter, brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Crumble the ingredients in a bowl with your fingers to create a uniform mixture.

4. 4

   Cover the apples with the topping. If desired, sprinkle some rolled oats sparingly on the surface for added texture.

5. 5

   Bake for 30–45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the apples are soft and the topping is crisped.

6. 6

   Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
