We love Apple Crisp!! We especially love it in the fall. We have a family tradition of driving to the Apple orchards in Illinois to pick apples right off the trees. The kids love it and, the crisp made from fresh apples is delicious. I love crust on the bottom. It is so gooey and delicious. This recipe is simple, easy, and wonderful.
Use an 8x 8×2 casserole dish, or something similar in size.
Ingredients
- 4 medium sized apples thinly sliced + 1/4 cup sugar
- One pie crust for the bottom.
- Topping:
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/3 cup margarine
- Mix and pat over apples
Instructions:
- Pie Crust/ Store bought pie crust is also acceptable.
- 3 Cups flour
- 1 heaping cup shortening
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- Instructions for crust:
- put flour in a large bowl

- Bake at 350 for 30 minutes
- Voila! Don’t forget the ice cream!!
