Apple Crisps

This desert is very easy to make; may be eaten on its own or partnered with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

For the filling:

4-5 apples, cored and sliced into ¼ “ thick (I used gala apples with this one but Granny Smiths will be best)

½ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup mixed dried fruits and nuts

¼ cup raisins

2 -3 tsps. ground cinnamon

pinch of nutmeg

For the crumble / topping:

1 cup all purpose flour

2 packets Quaker Oats® flavoured instant oatmeal (Cinnamon and Spice)

or 1 cup of plain rolled oats

½ cup granulated sugar

¾ cup cold butter / margarine, diced

Direction:

1. In an 8” x 8” square pan, place all the ingredients for the filling, mix well.

2. Pre-heat oven to 350˚F for 10-min.

3. Mix all ingredients for the crumble until the consistency is flaky and the butter almost disappears.

4. Use the crumble to cover the entire pan.

5. Bake for 30 - 45 min. or until the crumble browns.

6. Serve warm or at room temperature.
