Sylvia's Apple Crisp

This recipe comes from my Great Aunt Sylvia and has had many a request. I make it often; it's one of my favorite desserts, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!



Baking apples—Granny Smith work great (enough to fill a 9x13 pan)
½ cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
1½ cups quick oatmeal
1 cup flour
½ tsp soda
*½ cup melted butter

Wash and slice the apples. Combine the cinnamon and sugar. Line the pan with half of the apple slices and evenly pour half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top. Fill the pan with the rest of the apple slices and then pour the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top of the apples. Mix together the remaining ingredients and sprinkle over the top. Bake at 350* for 1 hour (until bubbling).

*I sometimes use more butter to hold the crumble together a bit better. Plus it helps prevent the topping from being too dry.
