I'm making Carolyn Gracie's "Homemade Apple Crisp" that is posted on the QVC Recipes. It calls for 1/4 cup butter, but the directions don't say what to do with the butter.

Has anyone made this recipe, or similar? Should I cut the butter into the flour and sugar, or cut in pieces and put on top. This is the first recipe like this I try as others have oatmeal in the topping.

This is the recipe as posted:

<h3>Homemade Apple Crisp</h3>

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!

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:

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

Arrange apples in the pan evenly and sprinkle them with lemon juice. Mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl until crumbly. Spread this mixture evenly over the apples.

Bake for 25–30 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!
