This family favorite recipe is from Gail's sister, Jacque. This apple crisp was one of the favorite desserts at St. John the Baptist School in Excelsior during the sixties. It is especially good made with tart apples and served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Apple Crisp

8 cups sliced apples, peeled.

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup water

1 1/4 cups flour

1 1/4 cups oatmeal

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

2/3 cups butter, melted

Place apples in a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon, salt, and water. Mix together flour, oatmeal, sugar, and butter. Drop mixture over apples and pat down. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until apples are done. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
