It seems like every year around this time when the air is crisp, the humidity has disappeared and the trees are slowly changing into their lovely fall hues, I crave a homemade apple pie.  This year, I decided to make a crustless version, otherwise known as a crisp.  Tender sliced apples tossed in a touch of ground cinnamon and sugar, with a squeeze of lemon juice for freshness; all topped with a crunchy and flavorful combination of crushed thin almond cookies, sliced almonds and old-fashioned oatmeal. Baked with a few dots of butter until bubbly, this delectable treat smells just as comforting as it tastes.
