APPLE CRISP BEST EVER! NO OATS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• 2. FILLING: In a small mixing bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar together. In an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan, add a single layer of the sugar and cinnamon mixture, do not grease the pan.
• 3. Begin layering sliced apples, sprinkling a cinnamon/sugar layer between each layer of apple slices.
• 4. Once apple slices are at the top of the pan, cover with a final layer of cinnamon/sugar mixture.
• 5. Mix vanilla extract and apple cider/juice in a measuring cup. Pour over apple slices.
• 6. TOPPING: Place flour and sugar into a small mixing bowl, blend well. Grate the cold stick of butter. Start with the wrapper on the bottom portion. Begin grating butter with a flat grater over the bowl. Keep sliding wrapper down to grate the butter into flour/sugar mixture until the grated stick of butter is all in the mixture. Use a pastry cutter and blend ingredients together until crumbly.
• 7. Cover the apples with the topping, sprinkling all over. Bake in preheated 400 degree F. oven 25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Check and don't burn.
• 8. Cool and serve. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you wish.
