One of the simplest and tastiest desserts to make are crisps. My favorite is the apple crisp, and here's a great and easy recipe you're sure to enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 5 large apples, peeled, cored and diced (Tip: Granny smith apples make perfect baking apples.)
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 stick butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place chopped apples in pie baking dish. There's no need to spray cooking oil or butter the dish. (Tip: Place baking dish on a cookie sheet before baking. It captures any pie "residue" rather than having it spill on the oven racks.)
   
3. Sift & combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
4. "Cut in" butter into dry ingredients and combine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This is the crisp topping.
   
5. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly on top of the apples.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for approx. 40-45 minutes. Broil an additional 5 minutes so the topping is crisp.

Serve warm with cool whip or vanilla ice cream. It's a crispy delight!
