Brown Sugar Apple Crisp

By Greywolf

A good choice of apples for this recipe is Roma, Empire or Spy. Any apple will do but cooking are the best if you prefer a "soft" apple crisp. The brown sugar can be replaced with equal amounts of Splenda Brown Sugar Blend to save calories.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 4 cups peeled and thinly sliced cooking apples
• 1 1/4 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 3/4 cup walnuts (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly spray an 8x8x2 inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 Tbsp flour and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add apples tossing to coat. Spoon into prepared pan. Set aside.

Combine oatmeal, 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and walnuts in a bowl; stir in butter (mixture will be crumbly). Spoon over apple mixture.

Bake 45 minutes or until apple mixture is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Serve warm.
