Here's my favorite version of Apple Crisps. They're not flat like most recipes. I like a nice big scoopful over vanilla ice cream, though with dieting, it's been frozen vanilla yogurt lately!
Apple Crisp (And Caramel Apple Crisp)
5 tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. water
1/3 c. quick oats
25 vanilla wafers, crushed
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. cold butter or margarine, cut up
(If making Caramel Apple Crisp, you'll need 1/2 c. caramel ice
cream topping)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the apples, sugar and cinnamon. Transfer to a greased 8" square pan. In a medium bowl, combine wafers, oats and brown sugar. Cut in margarine until mixture is crumbly. Set aside. If making Caramel Apple Crisp, pour caramel topping over apples in the pan. Pour water over apples. Sprinkle wafers mix over the top. Bake 40-45 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm.
