Apple Crisp

APPLE CRISP

8 large apples
3 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup water
Salt for the apples and a teaspoon for the topping
2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350ยบ.

Peel apples. Slice apples into a 9x13 casserole dish. Pour water into the pan. Sprinkle apples with lemon juice and a little salt.

Mix together the remaining ingredients. You may need to soften the butter in the microwave. This mixture will be crumbly. When the topping is thoroughly mixed, layer it evenly over the apples. Pat it gently to smooth it.

Bake for about 35 minutes. To tell if the apples are cooked, stick a fork into the dessert. If the apples no longer have any crunch, the dessert is done. Or should I say breakfast? This is a favorite breakfast at our house.

Whatever you have received more than others in the way of health, in talents, in ability, in success, in a pleasant childhood, in harmonious conditions of home life - all this you must not take to yourself as a matter of course. You must pay the price for it. You must render in return an unusually great sacrifice of your life for other life. Albert Schweitzer
