Ingredients

• Butter (for the pan)
• 5 medium apples
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 1/2 cups quick oats
• 4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) cold, unsalted butter, cut up

Directions

1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.

2. Peel, quarter, core, and slice the apples. In a bowl, toss them with the cinnamon, nutmeg, 1/4 cup of the brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of the flour, and nutmeg. Transfer to the dish.

3. In another bowl, combine the oats, remaining flour, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, and butter. With your hands, work the mixture until it forms crumbs. Spread it on the apples.

4. Bake the crisp for 40 minutes or until the top is browned. Let it sit for 15 minutes before serving. Adapted from Operation Frontline
