Rose's Fruit Crisp

This is a delicious recipe.  I know because it's one of my favorites! 

2 cups brown or white sugar
1 1/2 cubes REAL butter
1 cup white flour
1 cup other types of flour (I like using almond, garbanzo, whole wheat, flax, etc,
and sometimes I blend a bit of several of those flours)
2 cups oatmeal
6-8 medium apples (I like to use multiple types to get both a sweet,
and tart combination taste)
2 tsps vanilla
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)

1.  Blend together all of the ingredients down to and including 2 cups oatmeal,
you can use two forks to blend them or butter your hands well (so that the
mixture doesn't stick to them) and mash it all together with your hands.  It's
kind of like playing with playdough...fun

2.  Chop the apples into thin slices...not too thin they dry out and don't have
as much flavor.  Mix the vanilla, lemon juice, and spices together in the bowl
where you have your chopped apples.  Stack the bottom of a deep dish pie pan
or casserole dish with apples layer by layer.

3.  Put the dry ingredients on top of the apples.

4.  Bake for 45 minutes at 400 degrees.

5.  Serve with whipped cream, or ice cream.

6.  YUMMMMMY!

You can make this recipe using other fruits.  I also love to make it with blackberries
which grow wild in Oregon.  If you use blackberries, or berries of any type, add
1/2 cup of cornstarch to your berry blend to thicken the fruit.  Don't use lemon
juice or pumpkin pie spices, but still use the vanilla.
