Fall Apple Oatmeal Crisp

Still on the oatmeal kick. These apples came straight from the Farmer's Market. It's a combination with Jonagold and Honeycrisp apples. The jonagolds are mushy so they make the sauce and the Honeycrisp provide that familiar apple taste.

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 tspn vanilla extract
  
• 3 cups apples - peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 pear chopped (optional, adds sweetness)
  
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Lightly grease an 8 inch square pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, flour, vanilla and butter. Mix until crumbly. Place half of crumb mixture in pan. Put apples in a bowl with sugar and cinnamon and mix well so the apples are coated with the mix. Spread the apples evenly over crumb mixture. Top with remaining crumb mixture.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown.

Enjoy!
