Total: 1 hr

Ingredients:

  • 8 – 10 medium cooking apples
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 cups raw oats
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp allspice

Instructions:

  1. Peel (if necessary), pare, and slice the apples. Drizzle them with fresh lemon juice. Spread half of them into a large, oblong pan.
  2. Melt the butter and honey together. Combine with oats, flour, nuts, salt, and spices.
  3. Spread 1/2 this mixture (actually crumble, it won’t really spread) onto apples in pan. Cover with the remaining apples and the rest of the topping.
  4. Bake 40 - 45 minutes, uncovered, at 375°F. Cover if it crisps too quickly.
  5. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes:

  1. If you’d be uncomfortable leaving raisins out, you are allowed to add some. Put them in with the apples so they won’t burn.
  2. Throw in some cranberries for a jeweled effect.
  3. Substitute pears, mangoes, or peaches for the apples (reduce baking time to 25 minutes).
