fall...

Fall has definitely arrived and I am loving it.  The sun is warm and the air is so crisp but there is still one thing missing.  Apple crisp.  I haven't had a chance to make it yet with all kids activities that are keeping us busy.  So, I put it at the top of the to do list this morning right after all the kids were off to school.  I'd love to share the recipe {smile}. 

5 apples                1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 cup sugar         1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon     1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 cup flour            1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar

Pre-heat oven for 375 degrees.
Peel & slice apples.  Place apples in a greased 13x9 baking dish.
Combine sugar & 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.  Sprinkle over apples.
Mix flour, brown sugar, quick oats, baking powder, nutmeg & remaining cinnamon.
Cut in butter until it crumbles.  Sprinkle over apples.
Bake @ 375 degrees for approx. 50 minutes. {Note bake time varies depending on type of apples you use.  Harder about the 50 minutes.  Softer a little less}

The last part is the hardest part of the whole recipe.  Waiting a whole 50 minutes for it to come out of the oven.  Enjoy !
