Double Crumb Apple Crisp

Double Crumb Apple Crisp – Desta Watkins

2 cups oats
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 Tbsp cinnamon
¼ cup sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
1 cup soft butter or margarine
1 tsp salt
½ cup chopped nuts (opt)
11 cups Apples peeled and sliced (14 apples)

Combine oats, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter till crumbly. Mix in nuts if desired. Press about a third in the bottom of a 9×13″ pan. Spread apples over crust and sprinkle with ¼ cup sugar and ½ tsp cinnamon mixture. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top. Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes or till apples are tender. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes: Tart apples like Granny Smiths work best for this recipe. Golden Delicious are good too. But not Red Delicious, they are not good apples for baking, they turn mushy.
