This isn't the traditional apple crisp, but made a very nice dessert on a cold night. The curry powder gives it a nice spark of flavors, but also turns the apple filling bright yellow. (I used Penzey's mild curry powder.) I really liked that this recipe furnished lots of topping which to me is the best part. Next time I will use 3/4 cup of both flour and oatmeal so the proportion is more even. I also really liked that you included a spice in the topping. Great idea! I look forward to trying more of your contest recipes! Made for Hidden Gems 2008.
