Apple Pie Crisp

For some reason I have been in the baking mood this week.

I can't blame it on the "cooler fall-type weather" because it's

still been 90 degrees in Georgia this past week.

We are suppose to cool down considerably next week:

I'm not holding my breath!

I bought this cookbook a couple years ago from the book fair

at our elementary school.  It is awesome.  I love cooking and only

using 1 pan.

I was skimming through and found this recipe for Apple Pie Crisp.

I love apples and love to bake with them in the Fall so I

thought I would give it a try.

This is one of my favorite gadgets. 

The apple-peeler-corer-slicer from The Pampered Chef.

When I saw it at a show many, many years ago; I just

had to have it.

It is so quick and easy and the kids love how the peeling comes off in

one big long shoestring.

See....

Any what to do with all those shoestring peelings?

Why you put them in a pan with a little water and cinnamon; put it on

your stovetop and let it simmer.

Your whole house will smell like apple pie for the rest of the day.

Someone give me a spoon.  Yum!

The Apple Pie Crisp is ready to go into the oven!

Finished!  It tasted as good as it looks.  I am sharing the recipe below.

You can serve it with a little Cool Whip or Ice Cream.
