AWESOME APPLE CRISP



Awesome Apple Crisp image

I especially like this recipe as it makes a 9x13 pan as opposed to a 9x9, which I find handy when I have some extra mouths to feed. I first made this instead of my usual smaller version, at Christmas when invited to my sisters for dinner,she already had pumpkin pie, so she asked for an apple crisp, everyone really enjoyed it, and the next time we were invited for dinner, guess what they wanted me to bring? ( original recipe did not call for lemon juice, but my other version does,so I add it out of habit I guess!)

4 cups cut up apples
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons pancake mix
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup pancake mix
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
