Apple Crisp

So, I totally forgot to take a picture of my apple crisp fresh out of the oven, but hopefully you got to see firsthand what it looked like after you cooked your own on Thursday night. It smelled so good, I doubt I could have got my family to wait for pictures, anyway. My kids learned new vocabulary: apple crisp. And they tried a new food and loved it: apple crisp. Isn't apple crisp a wonderful thing? :) So educational.


If you need the recipe because you missed the meeting or lost your little paper, here it is. I would love to give credit for it, but I have no idea where the original recipe came from.

Apple Crisp 

4 cups tart apples (4 or 5 med. apples -peeled and thinly sliced) 

3/4 cup packed brown sugar 

1/2 cup plain flour 

1/2 cup rolled oats

3/4 teaspoon cinnamon 

3/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 

1/2 cup pecans (optional)

Mix remaining ingredients with butter until crumbly and then spread over apples and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes or until apples are tender. cool slightly on wire rack and serve warm or at room temperature.
