when life gives you apples...

although there was a shortage of apples in michigan this year,
apple crisp became the staple desert this fall.

when life gives you apples, make apple crisp!
lets just say that i got really good at peeling apples this year.
so here is what to do:

..ingredients..
- 9x13 inch pan
- 10 cups off apples (mcintosh works best because it is a softer apple)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tbs all-purpose flour
- 1 tbs ground cinnamon

- 1/2 cup of water

- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter, melted

..directions..
1. oven should be preheated to 350 degrees.

2. place the peeled and sliced apples in the pan. mix the white sugar, 1 tbs of flour, and ground cinnamon together separately, and sprinkle over apples. pour 1/2 cup of water evenly over apples.

3. combine the oats, 1 cup flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 cup of melted butter together. mix well.

4. Bake for about 45 minutes.

enjoy the finished product :)

and after you have shared it with others, your pan should look a little bit like this:

hope your monday is a good one!
