Homemade Apple Crisp: A Gracie Family Recipe

I've had this recipe written on a piece of scratch paper since 1981, back when I had my very first apartment after college. I had raided my mom's recipe box and scribbled down my absolute favorites from her vast and yummy collection!


This is one she made up herself. It may look similar to one you've tried before, but there's just something special about the way this tastes, and it turns out perfectly every time! It's another wonderful apple recipe for fall and best of all: it's quick! Be sure to check out all of my recipes on QVC.com!



Ingredients:

2–1/2 cups apples, sliced
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup butter or margarine 




Directions:


1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease or spray Pam on an 8'' x 8'' x 2'' baking pan.


2. Arrange apples in the pan evenly and sprinkle them with lemon juice.



3. Mix butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl until crumbly. Spread this mixture evenly over the apples.




4. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until apples are tender. Makes four servings.



Serving suggestion: 
Serve warm in individual bowls with a bit of milk poured over the apple crisp. Or for even more indulgence, add a small dollop of whipped topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's so good, you might want to make a double recipe!
