Apple Crisp

Preheat oven to 375° F. Peel, core and slice about 4 cups of tart apples. Place them in a buttered casserole or baking dish.

Place topping ingredients together in a bowl. Work with your fingers or a fork until the texture is crumbly, but not oily. Spread on top of the apples. Bake about 30 minutes.

1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup flour
¼ cup chopped nuts, optional
¼ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup butter (½ stick)
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 pinches of salt, if the butter is unsalted

You can substitute 1 cup of apples with fresh cranberries. Add ¼ cup sugar to the fruit.
