Tom and I have already made this apple crisp recipe three times this fall. Who knew it was so easy?! And oh so yummy. We are very speedy now and can whip it out in about 20 minutes. Lightening fast really. Well look at that, I just happen to have a picture of my trusty Betty Crocker recipe...
My father is an expert apple crisp maker and loves his handy peeler/corer/slicer device. He found one for us and I would suggest you go buy one right. now. Do people really stand there and peel and core and slice by hand? I know of one person who still does this (my brother) but I think I have him convinced to go buy one of these instead. It takes Tom about 15 seconds per apple. Unbelievable.
Most ingredients I'm guessing you already have on hand: sugar, flour, brown sugar, oats, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and of course apples.
After you have peeled/cored/sliced approximately 8-10 apples, sprinkle 4-6 T of sugar on top and stir to coat. My dad does a combination of sugar, cinnamon and flour (to reduce juice) but I didn't learn this trick until it was too late. Betty should change her recipe. I could eat the entire pan of sugar coated apples just like this...
But I love me some crisp topping so I'll go ahead with the next steps: measure out the necessary dry ingredients.
Add the butter.
Mix. Mix. Mix.
Until it's resembles "coarse crumbles."
Sprinkle on top of your delicious sugar-coated apples.
Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes or until browned.
Serve with all natural vanilla ice cream and you have yourself a definite crowd pleaser. If you know me, you know I'm a huge fan of warm with cold desserts (cookies, brownies, cobblers, etc.) This apple crisp is a fall favorite in our house.

Yummy! I still peel my apples the old fashioned way - do you really recommend the apple/peeler/corer/slicer? Now that I live near so many apple orchards I may need to invest in one. That is the most time consuming part of most of my apple recipes - and Apple crisp in one of my favorites...now I am hungry :o)
