Apple picking-check

We went apple picking yesterday so I guess I can check that off my list :) It was so fun for the kids. They had a little train to bring you into the orchid/pumpkin patch and a lot of the trees were really short so the kids could pick them themselves without a pole. They also had a really nice pumpkin patch where I was able to get a few nice photo's of the girls as you can see. Now, to use all these apples.... Any favorite apple recipes anyone??? Here's an apple crisp one I used last night that was super easy and very yummy!

3 layer Apple Crisp:

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups butter
2 quarts peeled, cored and sliced apples
*I also drizeled caramel sauce over the top before putting in the oven


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. Cut butter into mixture until crumbly.
Take half of the mixture and pat it into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Cover crumb mixture with apple slices, then sprinkle apple slices with remaining crumb mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes or until apples are tender.
