Apple Crisp

I wanted to try my hand at making an apple crisp, so I did. I found a recipe online and tweaked it just a little bit. Let's just say between Alex, myself and our friend John...it's almost gone. It's THAT good.

6 cortland apples
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup flour

Preheat oven to 400F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish, set aside.

Chop apples into small pieces, put in the baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon and then stir, so it goes all through the apples. Pour water in

In a dish, cream together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar. Add the flour and mix thoroughly. Cover the apples evenly with the mixture

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. When done, apples should be soft and crust should be golden brown.

Note: I didn't actually measure the cinnamon so I have no idea how much I actually used. The recipe called for 1 teaspoon, but that didn't seem like enough so I actually probably put closer to 1 tablespoon. The other thing I did differently was the brown sugar...the original recipe called for just 1 cup of white sugar, but a lot of the reviews said it was better if brown sugar was used in place of half of the white sugar.
