Dad's Apple Crisp

Dad's Apple Crisp

My Mom's apple crisp was one of my favorite desserts when I was younger. Unfortunately it was one of those recipes she just knew and it was never actually written down. I've been experimenting off and on for a few years trying to recreate it, but it never turns out quite right. Lately my Dad has also been experimenting and this is what he came up with. It's not my Mom's recipe, but I tried it out and it's really good so I'm officially calling it Dad's Apple Crisp.

For the Filling:
8 medium Gala apples, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter in a large bowl. Add the apples and toss until coated. Transfer apples to a large skillet and add 1/4 cup water. Heat over medium heat for 20 minutes. Transfer apples to an 8x8 baking dish.

For the topping:
1 cup flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oats
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl until dry and crumbly. Sprinkle topping over apples. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 F. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
