Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Apple Crisp

This Apple Crisp is the best that I've ever had. The apples are tender and perfectly flavored. The topping has a perfect texture - crispy and a bit chewy.

Apple Crisp

10 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced fairly thin
1 cup brown sugar, divided use
2 tsp cinnamon
4 tsp vanilla extract, divided use
2 cups quick cooking oats
2/3 cup flour
6 tbsp. dairy free margarine, cut into pieces

Combine the apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Pour the mixture evenly into a sprayed 9x13 baking dish. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, and flour. Add the margarine and remaining 2 tsp vanilla extract. Mix with your hands until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over top of the apples. Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes or until the topping is crisp and the apples are tender. Allow the Apple Crisp to cool for 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or chilled. Store leftovers covered in the fridge.
