Well before I dive into Christmas baking, I thought I would enjoy a classic fall treat on this last Sunday in November.

Apple Crisp is nostalgic for me, not much of a baker, it’s one of the few things my Mom did bake growing up.  And every time I make it, I understand why – it’s so darn easy!  Simple ingredients, the more rustic the better, virtually impossible to mess up!

I found these adorable maple leaf dishes and divided the recipe among four of them.  But it tastes just as good baked in a conventional baking dish, I promise 😉

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
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

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C).

Place the sliced apples in a 9×13 inch pan or divide amongst dishes as I did. Mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and ground cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples. Pour water evenly over all.

Combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 45 minutes.
