This weekend we went up to my sister Linda's house for a family BBQ at her new home. It's a great house, and she and her husband seem quite happy there. She mentioned she'd be making some homemade vanilla ice cream for dessert, and asked if I wanted to bring something to go along with it. This is an apple and raisin crisp with a crunchy oatmeal topping - it's great served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
APPLE RAISIN OATMEAL CRISP
INGREDIENTS:
For topping:
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
For filling:
6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Prepare topping - in a medium bowl combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
3. Prepare filling - in a large bowl combine apples and lemon juice and toss to coat. Add raisins, granulated sugar, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg, stirring to coat. Spoon into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with topping mixture.
4. Bake for 30 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.

Sounds great, it's getting to be fall and this reminds me of fall.
Looks delicious! I bet it was a perfect match with the homemade icecream.
Apple pies, crisps, etc are a favorite of mine. I will have to try adding raisins to the next apple crisp that I make.
