Nothing says “Fall” like warm apple crisp right out of the oven. The aroma that fills your kitchen–and your whole house, for that matter, will draw your family in like nothing else. And if your windows are open, this apple crisp will draw your neighbors in as well. Party on… don’t forget the ice cream. Vanilla Bean works just fine. Enjoy…

Ingredients ~

• 4 Cups Haralson apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 1 Tablespoon flour
• 1 teaspoon salt (optional)

Topping ~

• ¼ Cup flour
• 1 Cup Oatmeal
• ½ Cup butter
• ½ Cup brown sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

Method ~

Butter a 9×9 baking dish. Peel, core and thinly slice the apples. Sprinkle with the sugar, flour and the salt. Transfer to the buttered baking dish. For the topping, use another bowl and combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut the butter into the mixture until it is well distributed.  Pour evenly over the top of the apples. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes or until the apples are tender, the topping is golden brown and your kitchen smells like Fall.
