Apple Crisp | Life at Spring Meadows | Gardening Living Creating<\/p><\/div>\n\nIt’s that time of the year. Fresh apples. Good to eat straight from the tree, bake with cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter, or maybe a fresh apple cake that my aunt makes that is always so delicious. So many recipes and ideas running through my head!\n\nToday I chose to make Apple Crisp. It is a quick and easy recipe that is not short on taste at all!

A Little Info on Cast Iron Cookware<\/h4>\n In order for an iron skillet to be used in baking, it needs to be seasoned. That takes time.

Check them out <\/a>. But also check with Flea Markets and Antique stores where you just might find some old cast iron skillets before I do!\n

Gather Up Some Apples and Let’s Start Cooking!<\/h4>\nWhat You Need\n6 cups thinly sliced apples (I used Gala)\n2 tbsp. lemon juice\n1\/4 cup water\n1\/2 cup flour\n1\/2 cup oats\n1\/2 cup packed brown sugar\n1\/2 cup softened butter\n1\/2 tsp. salt\n1 cup chopped walnuts\n\n \n\n

Directions<\/h4>\nPreheat oven to 375 degrees.\n\nPlace apples slices in a 2 quart baking dish. Pour the water and lemon juice over the sliced apples and stir to coat the slices.\n\nIn a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, and salt. Stir to blend.
