3. In same bowl, mix 2/3 cup flour and the brown sugar. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or fork, until the mixture looks coarse crumbs. Stir in oats. Crumble mixture over apples in baking dish.
4. Bake 45-50 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown.

Thin French Apple Tart

Here is the tart that I demonstrated at enrichment on Saturday. It's so easy and yummy (I like it better than apple pie!).

Ingredients
1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie dough (such as Pillsbury), or homemade pie dough
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (can use other sweet varieties)
2 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°.
Place dough on a lightly floured surface; roll into a 12-inch circle. Place on a 12-inch pizza pan. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar mixture over dough. Arrange apple slices spokelike on top of dough, working from outside edge of dough to the center. Sprinkle apple slices with remaining sugar mixture. Bake at 425° for 30 minutes.
Combine honey and vanilla in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at high 40 seconds. Brush honey mixture over warm tart. Serve warm. (You can serve it with ice cream if you want, but I think it's great all by itself too).

Apple Dumplings

This recipe is SO easy and so yummy. I feel like it's already been published to the entire state of Utah but for those few remaining women who haven't seen it...here you go:

2 Granny Smith Apples (peeled, cored and cut into 1/8's)

2 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

2 sticks of butter

1 (12 oz) can Mountain Dew or Sprite

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 tsp vanilla

cinnamon

Butter 9/13 pan ( I use one of the sticks of butter before melting it)

Take the two sticks of butter, vanilla and the sugar and melt over medium heat until bubbly.

Wrap each apple slice in a crescent roll and place in pan, then pour butter/sugar mixture over top of crescent rolls. Then pour Mt. Dew over top of all of it and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
