How to Make Aunt Lucille's Apple Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6-8 medium apples (about 6 cups).
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 1/4 cup water and gently toss to coat the apples evenly.
  5. Pour the apple mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
  7. Cut in 1/2 cup cold margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender, the sauce is bubbly, and the topping is golden brown.
