Apple Crisp

INGREDIENTS
Fruit Mixture:
7 apples - I used 2 macoun, 2 Cortland, and 3 Granny Smith
2 T lemon juice
1/4 C granulated sugar
1/8 C all-purpose flour
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg

Topping:
1/2 C all-purpose flour
1/2 C granulated sugar
1/2 C light brown sugar, packed
1/2 C oats
1 t cinnamon
1/8 t nutmeg
1/2 C butter

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Peel, core, and cut the apples into slices. Place apples in a large bowl and toss with rest of Fruit Mixture ingredients.

Combine Topping Ingredients. Most recipes I’ve read say to cut the butter into the mix, but I’ve always softened it in the microwave till mushy and stirred it all together.

Spread the topping (it will be chunky/crumbly) as evenly as possible on top of the apples.

Bake uncovered in oven for 30-45 minutes – until top is lightly browned and fruit is bubbly.

Note, this is also good with chopped, fresh cranberries tossed in the Fruit Mixture.

Everyone really liked this. I worried about the uncooked apples being frozen, but it didn't seem to affect them. This crisp is pretty different from mine. Thanks for making it!
