I found this recipe on Family Fun's website. The thing I absolutely loved (and plan to use for future recipes) is the way they did the mixing. Instead of putting everything in a bowl and having the children stir the ingredients together, they put the ingredients in a ziploc bag and had you shake it up. The children LOVED this part of the recipe and it worked really well at mixing the ingredients and was a lot quicker than I expected it to be. It also cut back on the dirty dishes!
Apple Crisp
6 apples (We used Red Delicious but I think it would have been better with a more tart apple like Granny Smiths)
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
Heat oven to 375 degrees and lightly butter an 8 or 9-inch-square baking pan. Peel, core, and slice the apples and arrange them evenly in the prepared pan.
Place the oats, brown sugar, flour, spices, and salt in a sealable plastic bag, close, and shake until combined. Cut the softened butter into 1-inch pieces and add to the oat mixture. Close the bag again and knead or squeeze until the mixture holds together.
Open the bag and crumble the topping evenly over the apples. Bake the apple crisp for 40 to 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the juices begin to bubble around the edges. Cool slightly and serve. (This dish is excellent by itself or served with ice cream or whipped cream.)
