Apple Crisp

As we enter the season of the apple, also known as Fall, I will be trying a lot of different apple recipes. This one I got from my MOPS ladies, who truly have been a saving grace to me as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, also known as the preschool years. I myself doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 version, cause y'all know an 8x8 size dessert isn't gonna cut it in this house. This was delicious and was even good the next morning with yogurt on it.

4 medium apples
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 stick butter, softened

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray or shortening. Spread apples in bottom of dish. Stir dry ingredients with butter until it becomes a crumbly mixture; best done with your hands. Spread over apples. Bake about 30 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and apples are fork tender. Top with ice cream if desired.
