REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS COOK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE A KNIFE, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THESE RECIPES ALONE.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, toss 6 peeled, cored and sliced Granny Smith apples with cinnamon and sugar. Add the flour. Make sure all the apples are well coated.
3. Pour coated apples in a buttered 2-quart baking dish. Set it aside while you make the crisp topping.
4. For the topping, use your fingers to mix together flour, quick cook oats, dark brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
5. When your ingredients are mixed together, take a pastry blender and blend in the cold, unsalted butter (cut into pieces), to make a crumbly mixture. If you don’t have a pastry blender, you can use a fork. Don’t use your hands, since you want the butter to stay cold.
6. Sprinkle the topping over the apples.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees, until apples are tender and the topping is browned.
8. Take it out of the oven.
9. Serve warm with ice cream.
