Apple Crisp

My mom used to make this recipe when I was young. I was never really a fan of "healthy" desserts (in my little kid mind healthy meant fruit and vegetables), but I DID love the topping. So when it came out of the oven I would scoop as much 'crisp' as I could and add ice cream. Through the years I have warmed up to the "healthy" part of the recipe, and now I love it! The best time to eat it is on a cold day in winter, warm out of the oven, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yumm-o!

P.s. The photos in this entry were from a doubled recipe, but the normal recipe is for an 8-9 inch dish.
