Fresh Fruit Crisp

This comes from an old Better Homes & Gardens cookbook, although I cut the sugar in half.

Ingredients

1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
9 apples (or whatever amount fits in a 9x13ish pan)

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients except for apples. Use a pastry blender to cut the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Peel, core, and slice fruit to make 8-10 cups.
  3. Place fruit in a baking dish (something on the order of 9x13).
  4. Sprinkle with topping.
  5. Bake at 350 for 40-45 degrees.
