"A classic autumn dessert, apple crisp, can be enjoyed all year long. This is a great recipe that combines cinnamon apples with an oatmeal topping that is similar to an oatmeal cookie. It is wonderful served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream."

Really delicious. I think I used an extra apple or two. I probably could have used more...or slightly less "crisp" (topping) because it felt a bit unbalanced to me, but just a bit. I added about 1/8 teaspoon cloves to the apples. A bit more cinnamon and nutmug (wasn't necessary!!!!) and a fresh lemon squeezed over the apples to keep them from turning color (cause I left mine out for a while before I did anything with them. which I also didn't think was necessary.) I used ww flour for the topping. No problems there. It was SURPRIZINGLY good cold!!! Kids loved it. I loved it. Thank you so much. I'll use this over and over again.

Excellent recipe! Easy to make and a perfect fall dessert. I used regular brown sugar and it turned out great - I also did not have nutmeg but still loved the taste! Great American dessert!
