Butterscotch Apple Crisp

Recipe adapted from Back of the Box.

I love apple crisp, especially when it has a really crunchy topping.  This apple crisp recipe is excellent.  It incorporates butterscotch chips, to add a lot more flavor to this traditional dessert.  It is a great recipe for fall and I suggest trying it in place of a regular apple crisp.  Serve warm over ice cream.

Ingredients:

Apple Layer:
6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 package Butterscotch Flavored Morsels
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 stick butter
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
3/4 cup quick or old-fashioned oats

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Arrange apples in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.  Combine butterscotch, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.  Mix and distribute evenly over apples.  Bake for 20 minutes.

For topping, combine flour and sugar in a medium bowl.  Cut in butter with a pastry blender, two knives or a fork (I prefer using a fork, but this is up to you).  Stir in nuts and oats, sprinkle over the apple layer.  Return to oven for 35 minutes, or until top is golden brown and butterscotch layer is bubbling.
