I had been wanting to make an apple pie for a long time, but couldn't get past the crust (I want to do it right, but know I still need more experience before I get into making dough). So, when I saw this apple crisp recipe, I knew I had to give it a try. The smell of this coming out of the oven was great and the taste was even better.

Cooking Directions
Heat the oven to 350 degrees
Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg in a bowl. Pour melted butter over top. Mix well.
Toss the sliced apples with the white sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
Place a little more than half the crust mix in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer the apples on the bottom crust. Optional: Add 1/4 cup of water over the apples. Crumble the remainder of the crust evenly over the top of the apples.
Bake for 45-50 minutes.
