Apple Crisp Goodness

Every once in a blue moon i make this delicious indulgence. Its sweet, its crispy, its gooey goodness fills my stomach with a sugary bliss. And i know your going to love it. =)

Ingredients:

5 large Granny Smith apples
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 lime
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 cup flour
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 stick butter (or margarine, but butter makes it crispier)

Directions:

1. Peel, core and chop apples into small pieces (approx. 1"x1"x1/2") and put into a bowl with half the lime squeezed juice to prevent darkening.
2. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon; then stir into apples and set aside.
3. In another bowl combine flour and sugar. Cut butter into 8 pieces, and mix butter into flour until mixture looks like crumbs. (you may want to use your hands)
-Tip: letting the butter come close to room temperature makes it easier to mix into the flour/sugar mixture
4. Butter a 10 X 10-inch baking dish. Spread apples in bottom of baking dish then sprinkle the flour/butter mixture ontop so you cant see any of the apples.
5. Bake at 375° for 30 to 45 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is lightly browned.
6. Serve warm or at room temperature.

For a little variation you can mix in a handful of blue berries at step 2.

I think I might make this tonight. hehe. =)
