Apple Crisp

I love any type of cobbler or crisp; I especially love apple crisp.  I blame Dad, he has a strong love of apples and makes apple crisp often.  I doubt he ever uses a recipe, but I do.  So I pulled out this copy from the Minnesota State Fair. 

Apple Crisp

8 cups apples, pealed and sliced (I don't know how to make apples peal, so I just peeled them), appx. 8-9 apples.  Honey Crisp is recommended.
1 c sugar
1/4 c flour
1/4 t nutmeg
2 t cinnamon
Grated rind of 1/2 lemon

Peel, core, and slice apples thinly.  Mix with above.  Pour into 9x13 or 8 1/2x11 greased pan.

Topping:
1 c flour
6 T butter
2 t cinnamon
1 t baking powder
1 c rolled oats
1 c brown sugar
1/2 t nutmeg

Combine topping ingredients, cut in butter, blend until crumbly.  Spread over apples.  Bake @ 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  Serve with 1/2 & 1/2 or ice cream.

I chose ice cream, naturally

This was plenty good, but I doubt I will make it again.  I thought there was an incorrect ratio of apples to crisp topping, mainly way too much topping and I used a ton of big apples.  You can tell in the first picture.  I still really liked it, as did the kid, but it wasn't the perfect crisp recipe.
