Apple Crisp!!

Oh goodness.  I STILL have apple bits leftover from that orchard visit, and I'm running out of ways to use them!!
Luckily, Everyone loves an apple crisp.  It's the perfect dessert!  Hehehhe, it's my favorite breakfast!!  And it's incredibly easy to make.  Preheat the over to 350.

Crisp Topping,
1 c flour
1/2 c oats (I used quick cook steel cut)
1/2 c brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick cold cubed butter
1-2 tablespoons cold water

The crisp topping is simple and useful for any kind of fruit crumble.  Throw the dry ingredients into a food processor and when the oats go all powdery, toss in the vanilla and butter.  Pulse.  Add a tablespoon of water at a time.  Pulse until you get pea sized crumbles on top.  It should look like damp soil.  Add more water if you need to. 

In a baking dish, layer the apple bits about an inch or more thick.  Spread the crumble topping over it all.  Put in the oven and bake for 30 minutes on a baking sheet.  Let cool for about 5 minutes and then enjoy!!  Top with some fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.  If you're feeling adventurous, shred a little sharp cheddar on top!!
Cheers!
