Apple Crisp

So here is something perfect for fall, easy, cheap and apples are in season now so they will have more flavor. If you want to make this in the spring, try it with berries, although I recommend eating the whole thing at once, then, as the juice makes it very soggy by the next day, otherwise. I've also done this with apricots (just cut in half, pit, don't peel) and peaches (peel and pit). I think pears might work, but haven't tried it.

8 apples, MacIntosh are best if you are in the USA, try Boskop or something else fairly mealy in Europe- you want them to go down to fairly mushy, not to hold their shape.
1 Tablespoon of water
cinnamon
7 tablespoons of softened butter
1 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of flour

Peel and core the apples and cut into slices in any fashion. Place into a buttered baking pan and add the water. sprinkle with cinnamon. Mash the butter, flour and sugar together until you have a very crumbly mixture, it shouldn't really hold together. pile this on top and bake in an oven at 350 F/180 C for about 40 minutes until very lightly brown on top... Delicious with vanilla ice cream as well!
