GRANDMOM'S EASY APPLE CRISP
This recipe is a family favorite. I got it from my grandmother. I personally like this apple crisp recipe better than those that contain oatmeal, it seems to be a little more "crisp". This same recipe also makes a great blueberry, raspberry, or strawberry crisp.

Steps:
- Slice apples and place them in greased 6 by 10 baking dish.
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and egg in a medium sized bowl with a fork until crumbly.
- Sprinkle crumb mixture over apples.
- Pour melted margarine over all, then sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Bake 30 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Serve warm with cream or ice cream (good plain too) This recipe can also be made with other fruits.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. Avoid soft apples like McIntosh or Red Delicious, as they will turn to mush in the crisp.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too soft.
- Use a variety of spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic apple crisp spices, but you can also add other spices like cardamom, allspice, or cloves. Experiment to find your favorite combination.
- Don't overmix the topping: The topping should be crumbly, not clumpy. If you overmix it, it will become tough.
- Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling: This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving: This will help the topping set and the flavors meld.
