Apple Crisp Recipe

I love having canned apple pie filling for a quick desert.  I turn my oven on, open up a jar and pour it into a pie dish, whip up a topping and 30 minutes later I have a steaming, hot desert that is amazing with a spoonful of ice cream - not to mention the wonder- ful smell emanating from the kitchen.  I have quite a few jars on hand in my cupboard as every year I pick apples from a neighbors tree and make apple pie in a jar.  I believe the recipe I use comes from cooks.com though I did tweak it a bit by adding more cinnamon, lemon juice and sugar and less water. Later this summer I will write a bit about making canned apple pie filling and provide my recipe, but for now I want to tell you about the topping I use for the crisp.  


To make the topping use 1/3 cup each of flour (I use whole wheat), sugar and oatmeal and mix in 1/4 cup melted butter.  Sprinkle over the top of the apple pie filling and bake until bubbly (about 30 minutes).          

I know I shouldn't say this, but it's easy as pie!
