Cookbook:Apple Crisp III

Ingredients

 * 5 cups thinly-sliced apples
 * Lemon juice, to taste
 * ⅓ cup water
 * Powdered cinnamon, to taste
 * ¼ pound butter
 * ¾ cup brown sugar
 * ¾ cup rolled oats
 * ½ cup flour
 * 1 tsp powdered cinnamon
 * ½ tsp salt
 * ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
 * Additional rolled oats (optional)
 * Ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Procedure

 * 1) Preheat a conventional (i.e. not convection) oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
 * 2) Place the apple slices in a buttered baking pan. Sprinkle them with lemon juice for flavor and to prevent them from turning brown. Mix in the water and cinnamon to taste.
 * 3) To make the topping, combine the butter, brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Crumble the ingredients in a bowl with your fingers to create a uniform mixture.
 * 4) Cover the apples with the topping. If desired, sprinkle some rolled oats sparingly on the surface for added texture.
 * 5) Bake for 30–45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the apples are soft and the topping is crisped.
 * 6) Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * Peeling the apples before slicing is traditional but not required.
