Marilyn's Apple Crisp with Custard Sauce

My favorite dessert. My mom made apple crisp topped with warm custard sauce, made from Bird's Custard Powder.

• 6 cups peeled, sliced apples
• 3/4 cups oats
• 3/4 cups brown sugar
• 3/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup softened butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Slice the apples into a greased 9 x 13" baking dish.
In a bowl, mix together oats, sugar, flour and cinnamon.

Cut in butter with a pastry blender.

Pat flour mixture lightly over the apples.

Bake in a 375 degree oven 30-40 minutes. Serves 6.
