Double Crumb Apple Crisp

2 cups oats

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup flour

1 Tbsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

1 cup soft butter or margarine

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

14 apples, peeled and sliced (11 cups)

1/4 cup sugar plus 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Combine oats, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter till crumbly. Mix in nuts if desired. Press about a third in the bottom of a 9×13" pan. Spread apples over crust and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top. Bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or till apples are tender. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream

-Tart apples like Granny Smiths work best for this recipe. Golden Delicious are good too. But not Red Delicious, they are not good apples for baking, they turn mushy.
