EASY APPLE CRISP

My daughter made this today and it was really good. I ate mine with a spoonful of Cool Whip, she ate hers plain. Either way, it is very good.

6 large apples, peeled and chopped or sliced
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup old fashion oats
3/4 cup all-purpose (I prefer white whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced into small pieces
pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter an 8x8-inch baking dish, or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, add apples, granulated sugar, 3/4 tsp of the cinnamon, and the lemon juice. Stir to combine then transfer to the prepared baking dish.

In a separate mixing bowl, add brown sugar, oats, flour, salt, and butter. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in butter until the mixture resembles pea-size crumbs. You could also use clean hands to do this procedure.

Spread the topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish and gently pat to even out.

Bake 40-50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Best served warm.
