Oat Apple Crisp Recipe

I just love Taste of Home - probably because most of the recipes are comfort food (yes I love my comfort) and are sent in by people like me who want to share a good recipe and then tested and sampled. Only the good ones are published so you know it has to be good, right? I have been wanting to try this one since last October and just keep forgetting about it! I  thought I'd better get it in my collection before the recipe was lost and forgotten about.
