Double Crust Apple Crisp

In the fall, there is nothing better than a warm apple crisp to take away the chill of the cool evenings. Apple crisp is a favorite in our house with the crunchy crumble topping and sweet filling. I found this recipe 10 years ago when my husband and I visited a local apple orchard. I have made it exactly the same ever since and it is still our favorite.

Double Crust Apple Crisp

Serves 12

 •1 cup sugar
 •3 tablespoons cornstarch
 •1/4 teaspoon salt
 •1 cup water
 •1 teaspoon vanilla
 •2 cups flour
 •1 cup brown sugar
 •3/4 cup oatmeal
 •3/4 cup butter, melted
 •6 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt and water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constatly until thick. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Set aside.
 
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oatmeal and melted butter. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pat 1/2 of the flour mixture into the bottom of the dish.
 
Add the sugar and cornstarch mixture to the apples. Stir to coat the apples evenly. Spread the apples evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the apples.
