Miss Scarlett Cooks! Apple Crisp

Well, readers, autumn has come once again and I couldn't be happier. The cool weather, the colors, the warm fashions and food~~ It's perfect. So to launch all of us into the festive fall mood, I'm sharing a delicious seasonal recipe for one of my favorite desserts: apple crisp! It's perfect for dessert or even a decadent breakfast the next morning. It's pretty easy to make, too! Everything you need to know is after the jump.


The ingredients:

• Approximately 10 cups' worth of cored and sliced apples**
• 1 cup and 1 tbsp of flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup of melted butter
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats

**You can slice them if you want, but I think it looks better to leave the skin on!

The tools:

• A cutting board
• A good chopping knife
• Measuring spoons
• 9 x 13 inch pan
• Measuring cups
• 2 small bowls
• Stirring spoon

How to make it:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. (I am assuming you have already cut up your apples, but if you haven't, do this while the oven is heating!)
• Place the apples into the pan (do not grease it!) in an even layer.
• Mix the tablespoon of flour with the cinnamon and sprinkle over the apples. 
• Pour the water evenly over the apples.
• Mix the oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, butter, and the rest of the flour together to form a sort of dough. Crumble this evenly over the top of the apples.
• Bake for about 50 minutes to an hour, or until lightly brown.
