In the Fall, I much prefer apple desserts to pumpkin. My favorite dessert is my homemade apple pie, but an apple crisp accomplishes essentially the same thing, with a lot less work!
I like to use a combination of different apple types in my pies and apple crips. I always do half Granny Smith and half of another kind (usually honey crisp, pink lady, or gala).
I love to serve this apple crisp topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. My favorite store bought caramel sauce is Trader Joe’s Fleur de Sel Caramel Sauce.

Ingredients
6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the sliced apples in an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish. Combine the granulated sugar, 2 tsp flour, and cinnamon and sprinkle over the apple. Pour the 1/4 cup of water over the apples and mix everything together.
In a medium bowl, combine the oats, remaining flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and melted butter, stirring with a fork. Crumble over the apple mixture. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes, until the apples are soft and the topping is starting to brown.
