APPLE CRUNCH

~ allrecipes

6 tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced

1 c. sugar

1 c. cold water

1 T. cornstarch

1 t. vanilla

1 c. flour

1 c. packed brown sugar

3/4 c. old-fashioned oats

1/2 c. butter, melted

1/2 c. chopped walnuts

1/2 t. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 pan.  Scatter sliced apples in the greased dish.

Whisk together white sugar, water, cornstarch, and vanilla in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the syrup is clear and all the sugar has dissolved, about five minutes. Pour hot syrup over the apples.

In a small bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, oats, butter, walnuts, and cinnamon until crumbly.  Sprinkle over fruit mixture.

Bake one hour or until lightly browned and bubbly. Serve plain or with ice cream.
