3 McIntosh apples
1 ½ Tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
¼ cup sugar
½ tsp. cinnamon

Topping

  1. Place all ingredients except nuts and oats in a food processor and pulse until the consistency of corn meal
  2. Add nuts and oats and process just to incorporate
  3. Place in freezer for 1 hour

Filling

  1. Peel apples and cut into pieces; toss with other ingredients
  2. Place filling in greased ramekins and put generous amount of topping on each.
  3. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20-30 minutes, until apples are soft and bubbling.

Serve your fruit crisp with whipped cream or ice cream.
