An Apple a Day

Since apples are so plentiful this time of year, I continued my last post's theme and made apple crisp.  I followed the Betty Crocker recipe found at bettycrocker.com.

Preheat the oven to 375.

Grease an 8x8 inch pan.

Peel and slice 4 Granny Smith apples and lay the slices in the bottom of the pan.

Mix the following together in a bowl:
1/2 cup brown sugar*
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup butter, softened
3/4 tsp nutmeg**
3/4 tsp cinnamon

Spread the mixture on top of the apples.  Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden.

Serve with vanilla ice cream.

*The original recipe called for 3/4 cup brown sugar, but it tasted sweet enough with just 1/2 cup. 
**The nutmeg overpowered the cinnamon, so I'd recommend using perhaps only 1/4 tsp nutmeg.
