This is a fantastic, “old school” recipe from my grandma!  You can eat it plain or use either a cream cheese based frosting or a maple based frosting.  Other topping alternative:  1/3 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamin, mix together and sprinkle over top of cake prior to baking.

10 cups sliced apples (peeled and seeded)
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Mis well and place in a 9 x 13 baking pan.  (glass pan works great)
Topping:
2 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 cups oatmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup butter, softened.
Mix well and sprinkle/spread over top of apples.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
***Note:  this apple crisp is delicious and fresh.  Use your favorite apples.  I use either Granny Smith or a nice Red Apple.  The firmer the apple, the better it stands up to baking.   Do not use a soft textured apple.   Serve it up with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream……..delicious!!!
