Granny Smith, Fuji, Gala or Honeycrisp. For the best consistency and flavor use any one or a combination of these firm, crisp apples for a perfectly divine old fashioned apple crisp. Delicious when served straight from the oven warm with vanilla ice cream. Also love the leftovers cold the next morning for breakfast with tea or coffee. Makes the whole house smell so good!

Instructions
- Use an 8x8 baking dish that is about 2 " deep. Preheat oven to 350. Butter the baking dish.
- For the topping: Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Slowly add the melted butter. Use you hands or a fork to blend the butter and mix it in with the other ingredients until it is a somewhat dry but crumbly mix.
- Filling: Quarter and core the apples. Do not peel them. Cut each quarter into 3-4 chunks. Place the apples in a bowl and toss with either lemon or orange juice and zest. Add cinnamon and sugar.

Also saves well in the refrigerator. Great when cold with your coffee in the morning too.
