Easy Apple Crisp

Serves: 10 (aprox. 1/2 cup servings)

Ingredients:

8 Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored & thinly sliced

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons margarine or butter

1/2 cup walnuts

Preheat over to 370 F.  Toss apples, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg to blend in a large bowl.  Transfer to a deep-dish 9" glass pie pan which has been sprayed with non-stick spray.  Let stand for 10 minutes.

Put the brown sugar and butter in the food processor and pulse for 10 seconds, add the oats and walnuts and pulse for an additional 5 seconds.  Place the topping onto the apples and bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling bubbles, about 45 minutes.  Cool slightly and serve.
