No Fail Apple Crisp

Going to continue with another apple recipe.  I made this yesterday for company and it turned out great.  It is not like me to stay with the same ingredient, but since apples are so plentiful right now, I just had to share.  We will just call it our theme for the week.  It was so easy and the taste was divine!

Serve it warm and top with vanilla ice cream.  Pure heaven!!

Any variety of apple will work, I used golden delicious.

Topping:

6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 Cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 Cup granulated sugar
1/4 Teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon nutmeg
5 Tablespoons butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces and softened
1/2 Cup Oats, or Walnuts, or Pecans finely chop nuts if using

Filling:

6 to 8 Apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
Cinnamon to taste
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions:

For the topping:  Mix the flour, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg.  Add the butter and toss to coat. Pinch the butter chunks and dry mixture between your fingertips until the mixture looks like crumbly wet sand.  Add the oats or nuts, and toss to incorporate. Refrigerate the topping for at least 15 minutes before baking.

For the filling:  Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 375 degrees.  Mix the apples, sugars, sprinkle on cinnamon, and the lemon juice together and place in an 8 inch square glass or ceramic baking dish or a 9 inch deep dish pie plate. Distribute the chilled topping evenly over the fruit.

Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown, about 40 minutes.  Let cook on wire rack for ten minutes before serving.
