Apple Crisp.

Fresh from the oven, just begging for a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Make a friend and make a little extra for the neighbours.

With every marriage there is love, fights and compromise.  Apple crisp is one of my

husband's favourite desserts which "had to be made like Moms."  At first, I resisted, quite happy with my own family's version, but now has become "our" best recipe, and a standard when we come back with 20 lbs of apples from fall apple picking every year.  Tastes like an oatmeal cookie served over apple pie.

For a larger casserole dish:

2 cups butter (or margarine)

2 cup brown sugar

2 cups flour

3 cups oatmeal

about 13 apples? (depending on the apples) to fill the dish.

For a small sized casserole dish:

1 cup butter (or margarine)

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup flour

1 1/2 cup oatmeal

about 8 apples? (depending on the apples) to fill the dish.

Cut and core your apples.

(Peel if you wish, but perfectly acceptable and delicious if left on.)

Mix ingredients together, mixing after each addition.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Serve with vanilla ice cream when hot.

Freezes well, unbaked.
