Instructions

Notes
The best oats to use for making the crisp topping just right are quick oats. Rolled oats work fine to, but I prefer the quick cooking type.
When picking an apple for this crisp recipe a combination of sweeter and tart works well. I have made this recipe with all kinds of apples, however, green apples in combination with a red apple is my favorite.
Frozen apples or not?! If you have apples from the freezer just defrost them and strain off some of the excess liquid. Adding a little extra flour to the apple mixture helps as well.
