As we head into cooler weather, some of us look forward to the warm and cozy foods that we are all about to indulge in.  This next recipe is a prime example of how to use up some of that late summer produce, as well as enjoy some lovely warm spices as we ease into fall.  

This is a super simple recipe, which not only has a great filling full of apples and cinnamon, but it reuses our crisp topping from our summery rhubarb berry crisp.

Filling

1. 6 cups apples, sliced
2. 2 tbsp lemon juice
3. 2 tsp cinnamon

Topping

1. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2. 1/4 cup oats
3. 3/4 cup sugar
4. pinch salt
5. 1 tsp cinnamon
6. 1/4 tsp nutmeg
7. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F and pull out a 9" x 9" square baking pan.

For the filling

1. Peel, core, and slice the apples.
2. Add the lemon juice and cinnamon.
3. Mix well and pour into the pan.

For the topping

1. Combine flour, oats, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl and mix to combine.
2. Cut in the cold butter to your flour and oats mixture. You can also use your fingers.
3. Pour flour mixture evenly over your fruit and bake for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Notes

1. After baking, if you feel you would like the topping a bit crisper and more golden brown, use your oven's broiler setting and broil for approximately 3-5 min. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT walk away while the broiler is on!! I cannot emphasize this enough.
2. Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or simply on its own!
