On The Menu: Apple Crisp

My roommate had some extra oats laying around (don't ask), so I decided to make some apple crisp! 

Prep Time: 30 minutes // Bake Time: 60 minutes // Total Time: 90 minutes

For the filling: 
3 Granny Smith apples
2 Gala apples
1 lemon
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

For the crisp:

3/4 cup of flour
3/4 cup of oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 stick of butter (melted)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Peel, core and cut the apples. I chose to cube mine so it would be easier to eat. Mix the sugar and cinnamon with the apples. Put the filling in a 9" square baking dish. Then using just a slice of the lemon, squeeze some lemon juice over the filling.

3. Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a bowl. Add the melted butter while stirring until all the flower gets absorbed.

4. Put the crisp on top! Put it in the oven until the crisp is golden brown and the apple juices have thickened. It took mine approximately an hour in the oven.

Hike the Hollywood Sign

In honor of throwback thursday (yes, sometimes I cave into peer pressure), I wanted to post these photos! I hiked the Hollywood sign during the spring semester of my sophomore year with a couple girls from my hall because one of my dearest friends flew out for a long weekend. It's a relatively easy hike and ended up being a blast - minus the horse poop situation that was not under control for a small portion of the hike.
