apple crisp

my little family went apple picking a couple weekends ago. it's not possible to explain how amazing it is to watch your baby eat an apple for the first time. it's sounds so absolutely ridiculous, but it is by far one of the best memories i have of her thus far. simple pleasures in life i guess.

well... i had to do something with those apples. use your favorite kind- or do what i did, and use a variety

apple crisp
6 medium sized apples
1 c quick oats
3/4 c flour
1 c + 2 tbl brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c softened butter cut in 1" chunks

1. peel, core and slice apples. toss slices with 2 tbl brown sugar and pour into a 9 x 9 glass pan.
2. combine oats, flour, brown sugar and salt in a bowl.
3. cut in butter pieces using the back of a fork until pieces are no larger than a pea.
4. pour oatmeal mixture on top of apples and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
