Apple Crisp

The original recipe was given to Mom (Grandma) by Aunt Mant, August 27, 1958.

• 3-4 large cooking apples
• 3/4 c oatmeal flakes
• 3/4 c brown sugar
• 1/2 c flour
• 1/2 c (1 stick) margarine or butter
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• If apples are not very tart, 1 tsp lemon juice

Place peeled and thinly sliced apples in greased 8-9 inch baking dish. Combine all dry ingredients, then cut in margarine or butter. Put over top of apples, and gently press down.

Bake at 350 F for 35-40 min.

A modified version that works well is to not peel the apples and to replace the margarine or butter with canola oil. When canola oil is used, stir the brown sugar into the canola oil, add the oats and cinnamon and mix well. Mix 1/2 the flour with the apples and the other 1/2 with the canola oil/oats/sugar mixture. Spread the mixture over the top of the apples and gently press down. Bake at 350 F for 35-40 min.
