Very good--one of my family's best- liked desserts and Bev's recipe is excellent. We had it for supper tonight, and DH fixed it while I was doing supper, so you know it is easy to prepare. We will definitely make it again.

Deliciously sweet and easy apple crisp. Using egg in a crumb topping is a great trick that keeps it crunchy, not cakey. This recipe is lower in fat than most crisps, too. My oldest son loves fruit desserts and polished off nearly half all by himself. An 11x7 dish worked very nicely. Thanks, Bev, for another keeper!

I used 4 Tbsp of flour to thicken the McIntosh apples I used which did the trick. I think the topping should call for 1 lg egg & a yolk or something. My large egg didn't moisten all of the dry ingredients and so the dry flour just sat on the top like powder.
