Apple Crisp

About 4-5 apples, peeled, cored and sliced, spread on the bottom of a greased 8 or 9-inch square baking dish.  In a small bowl, mix ½ cup sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon and 2 Tablespoons flour together.  Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss them around to coat the apples.  Then sprinkle ½ cup water over this apple mixture.  If you want to skip this part and just used ready-made, canned fruit filling, that’s great too!

                    

Mix the topping in a mixing bowl:

¼ cup flour

1/3 cup oats (I like old-fashioned)

1/3 cup brown sugar

3 tsp. cinnamon

 ¼ tsp. nutmeg

2 Tablespoons butter or margarine

4 tablespoons apple juice

Cut the butter into the flour and oat mixture, add the juice a little at a time, keep it crumbly, not mixed into a paste.  Crumble the topping over the apple slices and bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes.  The topping should be baked and the apples cooked.
