Sweet cinnamon flavored apples in a delicious butterscotch sauce. Yum!

6-7 cups tart apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats*
1 package (3-1/2 ounces) cook & serve butterscotch pudding mix
1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon**
1/2 cup butter or margarine

1. Place sliced apples in a 3 quart crock pot. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, pudding mix and cinnamon. Cut in butter or margarine until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the sliced apples.

2. Cover and cook on Low setting for 5 to 5-1/2 hours or until the apples are tender. Makes 6 servings.

* Old fashioned oats may be used instead of the quick-cooking oats. They will add a little more texture to the crisp but the taste will be just as delicious.

** Using a wire whisk is an easy way to blend dry ingredients. It gives a more thorough blend than using a fork or spoon.
