Apple crisp (known as Apple crumble if you're from the UK) is a tasty dessert consisting of baked apples topped with a crispy crust.
* 3 pounds tart apples
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/3 cup granulated sugar
* 1/3 cup rolled oats
* 4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
First you'll need to peel, core and chop the apples. Throw them in a bowl and add the lemon juice. In a separate bowl, combine the nutmeg, cinnamon, and brown sugar; add to the apples and stir.
In another bowl combine the oats, flour, and sugar. Cut the butter into eight small pieces; mix the butter and flour with a pastry blender, or by using two forks until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the chopped nuts.
Butter a 9 inch square baking dish. Spread apple mixture in the bottom of baking dish and sprinkle flour mixture on top. Bake at 375° for 30 - 45 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is lightly browned.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Can be served with vanilla ice cream or a little heavy cream, if desired.
