Apple Crisp

This apple crisp is really great served with cinnamon or vanilla bean ice cream!

1 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. rolled oats
1 c. brown sugar - packed
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. butter - softened
4 c. apples - chopped and peeled
1 c. sugar
2 TB. cornstarch
1 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla extract
 
Directions:
 
In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until crumbly.
 
Press half of this mixture into a greased 2 quart baking dish or 9 inch. square baking pan.

Cover with apples.

In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, water and vanilla. Cook until the mixture is thick and clear.

Pour sauce over the apples.

Sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour, or until the apples are tender.

Serve warm
