Favorite Apple Crisp

I know apple crisp is traditionally a fall dessert.  But there's no reason you can't enjoy this any time of year.  Really...apples are always available at the supermarket.  Why not?

Here's a recipe from my beloved Edina Morningside Church Cookbook by the preacher's wife Mrs. Clay.  She was an excellent cook and this recipe is classic and delicious.   Enjoy!

Mrs. Clay's Apple Crisp

5 cups sliced, pared, tart (like Granny Smith) apples
cinnamon to taste (I use about 1 tsp)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup quick oats
3/4 cup all purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350.  Slice apples into salt water.  Grease 9 inch pie plate or 8x8 inch pan.  Combine sugar, flour, oats, and cinnamon.  Cut in butter until crumbly.  Drain apples and place in baking dish.  Sprinkle sugar mixture over apples and press down firmly.  Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.  Serve warm with ice cream.
