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:
- Peel (if necessary), pare, and slice the apples. Drizzle them with fresh lemon juice. Spread half of them into a large, oblong pan.
- Melt the butter and honey together. Combine with oats, flour, nuts, salt, and spices.
- 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.
- Bake 40 - 45 minutes, uncovered, at 375°F. Cover if it crisps too quickly.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes:
- 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.
- Throw in some cranberries for a jeweled effect.
- Substitute pears, mangoes, or peaches for the apples (reduce baking time to 25 minutes).
