Notes

Apples - I tend to use granny smith, but if you're wondering what kind of apples to use for a crisp - any good cooking apple will work. We like granny smith, golden delicious, or honeycrisp. You can even use a variety of apples to get a mix of tart and sweet!

Oats - I use old fashioned, you can use regular or quick.

Brown sugar - light or dark will work.
