Erika's Eats: Apple Crisp

FALL IS HERE!! MY FAVORITE SEASON IS HERE!! Ok...I just had to get that off my chest.

I am a SUCKER for any dessert that includes apples. I was super nervous to make my first apple crisp because I can honestly say, nothing beats my mom's apple crisp. At the end of the day the only ingredient missing in this recipe is her love.

If I could go back and change anything, I would use ALL granny smith apples. I really enjoy a little sour bite to my crisp. This crisp is on the sweeter side.

Have fun and let me know how yours turns out!! :)

Ingredients:

10 cups all-purpose apples, peeled, cored and sliced

1 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup water

1 cup quick-cooking oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup butter, melted

Step One:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sugar, flour and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. Peel apples and than slice with an apple cutter or knife. Place into a 9x13 pan and cover in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Pour water onto the apples evenly and mix around.

Step Two:

In a separate bowl, mix together oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda and melted butter. The mixture should have clumps and will create a better topping that way. Spread the mixture evenly over the apples.
