Secret Weapon Apple Crisp

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine water and lemon juice in a small cup.

To make the topping: combine the brown sugar, flour, rolled oats, cinnamon and butter in a medium bowl. Using two knives, cut together the ingredients until crumbly.

Place half of the apples in an 8 or 9-inch square pan. Sprinkle half of the lemon juice and water mixture over the tops of the apples. Sprinkle 1/3 of the topping over the apple layer.

Place the remaining apples on top of the apple and topping layers. Sprinkle the remaining lemon juice and water mixture over apples. Sprinkle the remaining topping over the apples. Make sure to cover the whole pan evenly; this is going to turn into the top crust.

Bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
