Delicious Apple Crisp

I'm not sure I can fully relate how much I love this recipe, how much my family loves this recipe, how much other friends have loved this recipe. It's a delicious, feel-good sort of recipe.  The topping is a perfect mixture of crisp and moist.  You'll love it!  I've also made this with a low sugar option topping, which I've included at the bottom.  However, I prefer to just add extra apples, make it in a larger pan, and spread out the topping mix here rather than using a low-sugar option.  Enjoy!
Fresh bowl of apple crisp, ready to eat! Yum! 

Delicious Apple Crisp

Serves 4-8 (depending on serving size desired)

Heat oven to 350F oven.  Have an 8 x 8 pan or equivalent ready (you don't need to butter the pan) OR 9 x 13 pan if you want to use 8 apples and have less topping overall.

Peel and thinly slice OR dice:
4-6 med good baking apples (OR 8 good baking apples for 9 x 13 pan)
Arrange slices or diced pieces in pan.
I enjoy dicing my apples, but slicing works well, too!
Mix together:
¾ cup large oats (use gluten-free oats for Celiac or if you're very sensitive to wheat!)
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
¾ tsp nutmeg (optional)

Cut in with a pastry cutter: (or your fingers, but be sure not to overmix! You want it crumbly and not smoothed together or it won't be a proper crispy/crumbly topping)
½ cup butter
This is how I like the topping to look - crumbly, but not overmixed
Sprinkle the mixture over the apples. 
Ready for baking!
Bake 35-40 minutes, or until apples are soft and topping is crispy and browned. (9 x 13 pans will need more like 45-50 minutes).
Fresh from the oven! 
Nice served on its own or with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or homemade vanilla pudding. Enjoy!  

Alternative low sugar topping:
Mix together:
¾ cup gluten-free large oats
¼ cup cornstarch OR Kristin's gluten-free flour mix
¼ - 1/3 cup demarara brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Cut in with a pastry cutter:
1 heaping Tbsp. honey
½ cup butter

This low sugar topping is not quite as crumbly, but still makes for a delicious taste on top of the apples.  Enjoy!
