Apple Crisp II

From: All Recipes

Manwaring Notes: Love this recipe. I read the comments from the all recipes and changed it a little bit by doubling the crisp topping and putting half of it as a crust and the other half on top. Also, I didn't add water. I used 1/4 lemon juice and mixed on the apples once they were peeled to keep them from going brown and that was plenty of liquid.

Prep Time:
30 Min
Cook Time:
45 Min
Ready In:
1 Hr 20 Min

Ingredients

* 10 cups all-purpose apples, peeled, cored and sliced
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 cup water (used 1/4 cup lemon juice instead-no water needed)

I doubled the following (and had a little left over:
* 1 cup quick-cooking oats
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C).
2. Place the sliced apples in a 9x13 inch pan. Mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and ground cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples. Pour water evenly over all.
3. Combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 45 minutes.
