Apple crumble

Last night I felt like having something sweet.I had a bucket of apples on my back porch from our trees,so I decided to make a crumble.

Turn oven on to 375.
Start with apples any kind you like and peel and chop in cubes.                                     

To the apples add 1/2 cup of sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon about a tsp.

For the crumble topping in a seperate bowl add 1/2 cup flour,1/2 cup quick cooking oats,3/4 cup brown sugar,tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg.

To this add 1/4 cup of butter cold and cut in pieces and cut in.Sprinkle the topping over the top of the apples.

Bake for 45- 50 minutes,until hot and bubbling.

Serve with ice cream or whipping cream.

Confetti cookies.

I had a lot of frosting left over from Ariel's cake that she made her daddy and was trying to figure out what to do with it.I had numerous packages of sugar cookie dough that I got from a coupon sale.So we used the dough and the frosting to make these little treats.
