Prepare the Apples

• Using a knife core, peel, and slice 2 pounds Granny Smith apples. You may use an apple corer for this if desired.
• Place apple slices in a large microwavable bowl. Microwave for 8-10 minutes, until apples start to soften.
• Remove from the microwave and sprinkle 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon over the apples. Stir to combine.

Make the Crisp Topping

• In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup Old-Fashioned oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
• Add 1/2 cup butter cut into mixture until it makes coarse crumbs. You may want to use your fingers for this to make sure everything is incorporated.
• Place the softened apples in the prepared baking dish. Crumble oat mixture over the apples.
• Bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, until apple juices bubble up onto the crust. Serve with whipped topping or ice cream. Makes 6-8 servings.
